Go to your VW dealer, and ask if you can borrow one of their lifts for a bit. 
They will usually let you if you are a customer and catch them on a slow day.

Go under the car with a small prybar and try to move the rack and tierods, etc.
If anything is loose, you ought to be able to find it. If you can get the car
up with the wheels hanging free, you can wiggle almost any part of the
undercarriage...
