Default Annoying rattle coming from front suspension (I think). I have CCP fr. upper copntrol arms, swaybar

and H&R coilovers. Is the rattle from the CCP control arms (they are over 1.5 years old) or the bushings or something else?

I had a similar problem in my A6, I took it to the dealer to get checked out and they told me that it was the inside wall of the wheelwell, that it was missing a couple of clips. If you park the car and gently bang on the fender with your fist, you may be able to hear the noise, were on the other fenders you wont hear this.

Default A little bird told me yesterday that CPP is coming out w/ an upgraded front upper control arm.

I just had the regular CPP arms put on my car, but am returning to stock until the upgraded arms come out. I guess they will have a rubber serviceable boot which should solve the sound problem and make it a life time part (as long as you grease and take care of it). I believe there will be an upgrade option for people who already have the non-serviceable version.
