Maybe I am hearing things but it doesn't bother to ask. This is a 1 month old car, and I just noticed something. When I am coming out of the driveway, or going over bumps slow, i hear a thumb(front right). Also in the morning when I first turn the wheel slowly to exit driveway, there is a squekk in the wheel. Idon't think it's a control arm because I had that problem with my 98 Passat, and the control arm is a grind felt in the pedal. This is more heard like a shock extending....
Anyone else experience these???<p><A href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=4586">

I dont have that exact thing, but i notice on my Avant (2000) that when I turn into the drive way and the right wheel go over the curb lip there is alot of kick in the steering wheel compared to when the left tire goes over the lip. Also my car seems to be wandering more on the highway than it used too. I am hoping I can hold off until the 5000 mile service to have everything looked at. I also had a Passat (1999) but that car handled like crap from day one.

In the mornings when I first pull out of the garage I get the same squeek/squeel when turning the whell. Since it goes away I can only attribute it to the fluid being cold? Doesn't happen anytime after...that is my reasoning (right/wrong) for that. Any other ideas? Glad I'm not the only one that has this condition. It also seems to go hand in hand with the hard shift from 1st to 2nd in the first 3-5mins or so of driving.

GOOOO

I hear the same thing as I turn and pull away in the morning--don't know what it is.
