Hi just bought a 1996 mk 5 tranny with squeaky front suspension, any idea how to stop this really anointing noise.
Cheers

Probably lower ball joints or top shock mounts.

Replacement is the best way, neither are very expensive.

Lower ball joint.
Do not buy cheap spare becouse they wont last long in this car.
