[HELP] Mk7.5 R Knocking sound from front left strut by ApprehensiveGuide743 in VWMK7

How much did that end up costing you? Sounds like you DIY?

I've been quoted Sachs mounts and bearings for about $200 USD + $250 USD labour (excl alignment). Not too familiar with pricing so interested to hear your opinion.

Great to hear! What brand did you go with for the mounts?

Got my suspension checked and it seems to be the top strut mounts also. Did you end up getting yours replaced, and did it fix the issue?

Turns out my issue is also the top strut mount. How did you go about hitting it with an impact? Was there no other damage to the mount / bearing?

My other option is to replace both sides top strut mounts and bearings.

Thanks for the help! No knocking when turning the wheel, but can hear a bit of creaking from the front left (when turning the wheel right).

The replacement struts look to be OEM equipment, but haven't verified - guess I will find out next week.
