Hit a curb now audi A4 has horrible whirring sound!
Hi there I have had my lovely A4 97 model for 2 years now and loved it
until the night I hit a high curb. Geez it took the steering wheel out
of my hand now whenever im in the car it makes a horrible whirring
sound under the passenger side near the wheel. I feel ive totally
wrecked the car and am totally distraught does anyone have any ideas
what this could be?
Please help.
Many Thanks
Lorraine

How fast were you going? Were you parking or did you slam into the curb
at 40 mph? It could be the wheel bearings going, they would make a
'whoop whoop' sounds as the wheel turns. Of course, if you hit the curb
hard enough to mess up the bearings, chances are you messed up
something else too.... Does the car pull when you accelerate or brake?
Is the wheel centered when you drive straight?

Go to an independent Audi specialist, a alignment specialist may just try to
adjust things then tell you your suspension is bent & still charge you for
the pleasure, but if its making a noise you have bent something, VAG parts
can get most suspension parts in OEM & are fast for mail order, so stay
clear of non genuine parts if you can,
