creaky bushings on '01 225R

Posted by lowcountrytt at March 24. 2005

I recently bought an '01 225 roadster with 15,000 miles on it. Everything is great, except for the creaking front suspension bushings. I recall reading somewhere that squirting wd40 on them would help remedy this problem. The question I have is this: where in the heck are the aforementioned bushings? I can't see them anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had mine replaced by the dealer.

Here is the thread.

Thanks for the link, Jake. My car is no longer under warranty though (according to the local Audi dealership), and if i can fix the problem by spending 4 bucks on a can of WD40 I would probably rather do that. Does anyone else have knowledge about where these bushings are located?
Thanks again.

Be sure it isn't the door tap that is making the creaking! I thought it was the bushings on my 01 and it was actually the door tap.

Yeah, the door tap on the driver's side creaks a bit as well. That is easily fixed, though. This creaking comes from under the front end, generally at low speeds, and when going over uneven pavement or speed bumps. It also creaks when I accelerate from a stop.
