Hi all,

First post on here as I’m wondering if anyone can help.

Recently replaced my 2 front coil springs on my VW Polo 1.2 2013 following the front driver side spring snapping. Everything seemed well until I noticed a creaking/gear-like noise, which is more frequent when going over speedbumps. Videos attached below of sounds.

If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it, thanks

Is everything tied up properly and torqued to the correct values?

What torque values did you use?

Followed the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/Ju7RkVHvaHE

Will try to re-check all bolts tomorrow, or sometime this week. Appreciate the help

Just checked everything, turns out it was a piece of the undertray that managed to come loose and was scraping against the floor! Thankfully noise is gone now
