Squeaky TT
My TT squeaks when it goes over bumps. It sounds sort of like the springs on an old bed. Is this normal, or does it mean my shocks or springs are failing?
I noticed this a few weeks ago after my TT came back from having its bumper replaced and I put my summer wheels on. Its really hard to tell but it is seems like the sound is coming from the rear.
Any suggestions?
I'm going to have my dealer look at it at my next service appointment.

What I experienced...
My 225 started exhibiting these characteristics. Squeaky suspension when going over bumps.
It ended up being a problem with the anti-sway bar. There is a clear tube around the anti-sway bar. Mine had shifted to one side and was rubbing up against the sway bar connecting arms when the suspension components heated up.

Re: Squeaky TT
My TTR was squeaking, but it turned out it was simply that the door needed to be re-greased (the metal U-bar that is part of the locking mechanism and the lower rubber pieces that interlock. Seems every time I wash the car and wipe down the inside of the door, it needs to be re-greased. Hopefully it will be that simple. If not, I can't help you.

Suspension Squeaking in front
I have had consistent creaking noises from the front suspension since about 2500 miles (now have 10,000). It has been into the dealer 4 tims (2 dealers actually) and they still have yet to fix the problem. Going over speed bumps or entering parking lots with angled driveways causes the creaking noise. Audi had a regional technical
advisor come in and he heard the noise but it still wasn't fixed after getting it back. They adjusted/lubricated the sway bar bushings, the control arm bushings and still nothing.

Thanks everyone for your help...
It seems like it could be a lot of things! When my TT was injured the left brake left and bumper needed to be replaced. In order to do this they need to take off the driver's side door. I am thinking it is something that was not put back together right.
