Clicking from the rear shock on my golf m4 gt tdi

The clicking happens when breaking and going over bumps in the road. And seems to be coming from the right hand rear shock area. Any ideas??

Remove the rear wheel and inspect your brake hard ware for damage and adjustment. If thats fine, inspect the shock/ strut assembly for wear.

We have a Golf TDI 2005 - bought in New Zealand. The car has had two episodes of having a loud 'spronging' noise start, then stop. It sounds like like something repeatedly banging on a hollow pipe while...

think you have a shock absorber problem ,they can break inside well not exactly break but a valve sticks causing the vehicle to bounce more which you didnt notice but no doubt it happened then when bounced on the level crossing it freed itself again .Very rare but i have seen it before ,took ages to diagnose

Impala rear suspension problem

Could one shock be bad? Causing a difference in bounce return rate? I would crawl under suspended car and check all suspension bolts. Are your bushings in good shape? If one is chewed up or missing then this would cause that misalignement. What kind of suspension do you have? Solid axle or independent susp? I don't know if your car is front or rear wheel drive. I'm guessing front wheel drive.

96 Golf 2.0GTI 8v knocking noise from rear when accelerating

its probably your bump stops. the vw ones are very soft. i bought ford escort (the shape after the xr3) ones and cut them a little down to fit. i think the noise is either your shock touching or the sound of the tire scraping the body of the car. hope this helps.

Clutch slipping m4 golf

Best check for this is to get the car around 30mph, put it in top gear, and floor the gas. If the clutch is going to slip, this is when it'll happen. If it slips, you'll need to replace it. If it doesn't, there's likely no issue with the clutch and you'll have to look elsewhere for the problems you're seeing.
