Any of those can wear plus the anti roll bar bushes, most of the above will cause a knock though eventually. A good trick for a queaky bush is to spray the bush with wd40 and this will probably stop the creak for a while. Dont spray them all at once though as you need to know which one is squeaking.

My 99 T4 had the front round bushes replaced which were very worn, I also replaced the upper control arms and link arms although it turned out they weren't knackered. The anti roll bar rubbers were replaced along with the ends too, they werent too bad either. My car had done about 90k when most of that was done and alot of it didn't really need replacing, I was chasing a rattle that turned out to be a brake pad with no anti rattle shim:).

great stuff, thanks very much. i will get the WD40 out at the weekend! :thumbsup:

im getting the garage to look it over today, while its in for its timing belt.
