Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Thud Sound When Going Over Bumps And Left Hand Turns

My passenger side has been making thud noises on a number of occasions on my 01 Jetta 1.8t:

1. When I go over bumps, the front passenger side will make a loud thud noise.
2. When I take my foot off the brake, there will be a loud thud from the front passenger side as well.
3. When making left hand turns and I begin to turn the wheel back to return it to its original position, there is a thud coming from the front passenger side as well.

It does not continuously click like a bad CV joint would. All these symptoms came at the same time period.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2012 - Rattling Sound On Driver Side Over Small Bumps

I recently lowered my 2012 Beetle with HR super sport springs/stock struts.. So this annoying tin rattling sound has come out. I just replaced the strut mounts thinking they separated like they are known to do. Sound Still there. Now my thinking either it is the sway bar end links being too long or possibly I have aftermarket wheels and aluminum hub rings it could be rattling over small bumps? Could it be the strut bearings? I've been over everything that I can think of and nothing is loose.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Wobble With Rumbling Noise When Accelerate

I've got this bad wobble that occurs when I accelerate its also followed by a rumble coming from the passenger side. A friend sitting in the pass also said she felt it under her feet. I have put in new control arms tie rods and ball joints, but before I put those parts in I had a vibration at around 50-75mph which is the reason I put in new control arms and ball joints. Then Driving after the new CAs In my Jetta was driving a bit more smoother but still small vibration under harder acceleration stress.

After taking a rough turn and minimal beating I now randomly have this pretty bad wobble and rumbling noise from 2nd-5th gear early in rpms, the more stress the Louder and rougher the wobble gets. I plan on getting an alignment this week, my only other thought would be an axle? I replaced my pass side axle less then a year ago because my original one snapped but it was with one from autozone...

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Ringing Noise Coming From Passenger Side Of Engine In 2003 GTI VR6

Just like the title says i have been hearing this ringing noise in my 2003 gti vr6 and its driving me nuts. Neither my mechanic or I could find this source of this noise with the stethoscope. It seems to be coming from the passenger side of the engine but strangely only happens when I LITERALLY shake the car or when its idling and revving. The A/C isn't working either if that means anything. First time owner of a VW by the way.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Clicking Or Tapping Noise Coming From Passenger Side Of Engine Bay

1.8T... Finding the source of a weird clicking noise I keep hearing. Ever since I changed the motor mounts (although I am not sure if this has anything to do with it) after the engine warms up or after some driving, when the engine is idling I hear a clicking or tapping noise coming from the passenger side of the engine bay. It doesn't seem to tied to the rpm; I can rev the engine a little without the tapping going faster, and when a shift between neutral or park or drive the tapping will briefly slow down almost to a stop before going back to its regular pace. After the revs get above 1500 or so it seems to stop.

Golf VI R :: Passenger Side Door Rattle At Higher Speeds Or Over Bumps

Having issues with passenger side door making noise on the highway at higher speeds or over bumps? I've recently begun to notice a slight rattle coming from the passenger side door when at highway speeds which becomes more noticeable and annoying when driving over a bump or less smooth roadways. I just reached 1500 miles. I have looked around on the forum and found some issues that various GTI owners experienced most dated from last year (talked with a MK6 GTI owner today at work who mentioned there was a recall not too long ago on this issue?), but I feel like that would have been since fixed with the R if the recall was last year.

Golf IV R32 :: Pfft Sound Going Over Bumps And Clunk On Passenger Side When Cornering To Right

FYI This is on the passenger side. Should I just replace the whole metal shaft? Can I just replace the rubber thing that is severed? If this is the wheel bearing do i need to get it repacked?

I am replacing the whole suspension because I started hearing a "pfft" sound going over bumps and sometimes a clunk on the passenger side when cornering to the right. is this severed leaking rubber thing the main cause of the clunk perhaps?

Silverado :: Squalling Noise In Front Passenger Side When Hitting Decent Bumps

I have a 2005 1500 Silverado z71 that has started producing a squalling noise in the front pass side when hitting decent bumps during hunting season. This noise can also be reproduced when bouncing the pass front side. It has 99,000 miles. I'm assuming this is the front pass. shock. The truck came with Black and Red shocks. What brand is this? Also, from what I have read Blistens are most peoples replacement choice. I see they make a HD (4600) model and a (5100) model. My ride is stock height. If this is the problem and what brand/model to replace with? Doesn't Z71's have gas shocks and would this influence which brand to use?

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Rattling Noise From Passenger Side Corner Of Sunroof

I've been having rattling noise problem on my 2010 RX350 for months now. It comes from the passenger side corner of the sunroof. It sounds like metal hitting glass. I took it to the dealer twice already but the problem is that each time the noise stops. I even drove with a technician in the car to replicate the noise but each time no sound, nothing.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2012 TDI Rattling On Front Passenger Side Seat Area?

My 2 door tdi is about 3 months old now. its whisper quiet in the cabin with the exception of this one rattle coming from somewhere on the front passenger seat area.

I've removed everything from the cabin to make sure something wasn't rubbing against anything but the rattle is still there. the odd thing is is that I cant seem to exactly isolate where its coming from.

I've knocked on the door panel, glovebox area and everywhere else i can think of and I cant reproduce it unless the car is driving. Where it was coming from?

Camry :: 2006 - Random Rattling Noise Under Hood Near Engine On Passenger Side

I have a 2006 Camry LE 4 cyl. that developed a light, random (metal sounding) rattling noise under the hood, near engine on passenger side. It's present/noticable at idle and slow speed.

Car runs great otherwise and great gas mileage, pushing around 100k on odometer. Out of town with car otherwise would have looked at. Could something just be loose? Something in air filter? GF drove it down to FL and was fine before she left.

Camry 2012+ :: 2015 Toyota XSE Rattling Noise On Passenger Side Seat

What is making the rattling noise on my 2015 Toyota Camry XSE on the passenger side?? It only happens when I drive through cobblestone roads at low speeds or some bumpy roads.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Rattling Noise Inside Cabin Coming From Passenger Side

I have 06 gs300 AWD and recently it started to make that noise. At first I thought my shock/struts went bad and i had it inspect and they are good, ball joint and control arms also good. However, I do not know if strut mount is bad or not. When I go over small cracks i can hear rattles inside but when i let my windows down I hear less. I do not know if the window or door has to do something with it. It seems like coming from passenger side. Btw sometimes i do feel even dashboard rattles a bit.

Tiguan :: 2012 - Clunking / Rattling Noise Coming From Front Passenger Side Suspension Arm

I just purchased my first VW, a 2012 Tiguan SE in Night Blue Metallic. The level of fit and finish, handling, and general feel are miles ahead of my old '04 Jeep Liberty.

Anyway, I've had the car for about 250 miles and have noticed a clunking/rattling noise coming from what sounds like the front passenger side suspension arm. The noise is fairly quiet but seems to consistently happen when turning left over uneven pavement.

I plan on taking it to the dealer this weekend and it is only a minor annoyance, but a shame since the rest of the vehicle is so quiet and refined.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Rattling Noise Coming From Passenger Side Of Engine - Low Compression

My 2004 F-150 5.4 has a rattling noise coming from the passenger side of the engine when at operating temperature. The cam phasers and all related parts have been replaced. The reason I was prompted to change the phasers, chains, guides and tensioners was due to the engine stopping on me as I returned home from an errand. The engine had already shown signs of needing the phasers replaced.

The engine runs very smooth while warming up. Vehicle lacks power and has a rough idle after warm. Took the truck to a local mechanic, in the process of making a diagnosis, he performed a compression test. Cylinder 3 psi was much lower than the other 7 cylinders, the mechanic recommended replacing the engine (possible bent valve).

I have a Haynes manual, have searched youtube and checked this and similar forums, I have yet to find instructions on the removal of the head from the block.

(2004 Ford F-150 5.4 3v)....

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rattling Noise When First Start The Car

I own a MK4 Golf GTI which has recently started making a rattling noise when I first start the car (Perhaps cold weather?). It will continue for roughly a minute despite load (A/C, acceleration) before It stops and It won't happen again until the car has cooled down hours later. It's quite an unsettling noise and I would like to be set in the right direction.

After a couple hours online I'm leaning towards perhaps the belt tensioner being to blame? I haven't delved too deep into the noise but do believe it is from the left side of the motor. Can likely clarify on the weekend.

Is there anything to worry about? If so, where do I start? I myself was trying to fiddle around and see if the noise would happen at higher revs, which it seems to. [URL] .....

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2010 - Odd Noise Coming From Fender Area While Driving Over Bumps Especially

I own 2001 2.0 Golf (first car) and lately as I drive I constantly hear this noise, it's very obnoxious, sounds like a washing machine going with a hard object in it. It's not continuous, but it doesn't happen rarely. Whenever I go over any bump, the slightest crack etc. I'm guessing it has something to do with the suspension? I'm not really sure since I'm still learning about cars...
