Strange noise

[desinor at sympatico.ca (Jean-Claude Desinor)]

   Wouldn't a bad bushing cause this too?

   I had something similar happen eons ago on the 84 Scirocco, most 
recently I had it with a 96 Jetta. On the Jetta, it would also 
invariably happen if I hit the brakes at a stop sign, and again when I 
accelerate from the stop sign.

   Replaced all 4 busings, had an alignment made, for peace of mind.
