Going over the hill with my rattl'n car....
yeah... so the car starts to make more rattle and noises that I never heard of.
Noise #1:I hear this clunk clunk under the rear. The other day, it was so loud that I thought the car behind me run into me. What could it be?
Noise #2 Click, click, like a shorting out sound, behind the cluster (The fuel gauge has been acting up here and there). It is more noticeable when I turn the steering wheel. What could it be?
Thanks for your help.

Wondering why that's different from my clunks?
See my post of last night. Also I asked the Audi dealer about the manufacturer of the shocks and he said he wasn't certain as they only came with "Audi" on them, but he was sure that Audi wouldn't stoop to using Monroe shocks.

well...all you have to do is look at the shock.>>>
outside tube to see it is Monroe....it is printed right on it!
If your car has more than 30k on it and has OEM shocks in it...they are gone...fwiw

Shocks don't usually "ClunK" internally....>>
They do go flaccid though! Check the bottom bolts. If tight, peel back the rear wheel liner and check the top bolts. There have been instances of these loosening and clunking. Grab the shock and try to move it around...May allow you to diagnose without doing the liner thing..

links as in sway bar links???
if so, they have been replaced about 15,000 miles ago. However, now that I think about it tho... whenever I get in the car something does squeak on the rear.
