Suspension Rattle

Just back from our trip to Sicily and associated crap roads seem to damaged the suspension.
When going over bumpy surfaces there is a rattle on the drivers side, however it only happens if the van is turning to the left.
Any ideas before I open my wallet?

Re: Suspension Rattle

I had similar to this, turned out to be the ball joint. For my Mk1 that meant new control arm/bottom arm/wishbone

Thanks. I seem to remember that my mk1 had the same issue, but it never seemed to get any worse, so I kinda forgot about it.
Did you just replace one side?
What was the rough cost?

Re: Suspension Rattle

The parts are pricey from what I remember. I think it cost £150+ with labour?
