Perhaps your clicking has something to do with your brakes, a warped rotor or missing anti-rattle clips. Applying the brakes, even just a little, would tighten everything up and make the noise stop temporarily. Make sure your lugs are tight too!! It may also be that your CV shafts are misaligned, yet align when the brakes are applied since the tranny moves(?)But don't bad CV shafts only click when turning? I suppose once they get REALLY bad they may click all the time. HTH-

Secondly, I bought this Rabbit GTI a couple of months back. It has 16's on it and there is major tire rub at high speeds going thru dips and hard bumps. It has spax lowering springs. It sits lower in the rear than in the front and I can't even put anyone in the back seat literally because if I do put 2 peeps in the back the wheel wells actually sit on the tires!!!! Whts the problems ? Springs? Shocks? Lowered it too much? Thanks for any info\Ryan
