*URGENT* Top mount failure on 2002 polo
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 3:14 pm
hi all,
Was just driving along yesterday when there was an awful bang.
Car's suspension was very noisey and the handling was terrible.
Took it to my work workshop and raised the car to see what the problem was.
On the offside front suspension, the roller bearing top mount has completely failed, it was in pieces and the ball bearings went everywhere.
Why on earth would this fail like that?
Its a 2002 polo sport with 53,000 miles on the clock.
I have spoke to a VW dealership and they aren't aware of any problems.
what could have caused this because i have no idea why this part would fail like that.
thanx
