Hi guys,
I'm looking at a 2001 Golf Mk4 1.8t GTI as a potential buyer but have concern about grinding noise from Offside / Right side front wheel area. Noise can be heard when steering is near full right lock and only happens to the right and not the left. The car has been lowered (40mm) by current owner and has 19" alloys fitted although I'm sure it's not the wheels rubbing on the arches. One theory I've heard is that it's the drive-shaft rubbing on the anti-roll/sway bar. If this is the case, how serious is this given that it happens only when near full lock. Also, what can be done to remedy the problem? Would be grateful for any helpful advice before parting with hard earned cash for otherwise perfect looking motor.
Cheers!
