Suspension assessment

[Mist4h20]

Hi all, just wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations for a suspension assessment in the northern suburbs, my car seems to be making a squishy noise from the front right when the weather is on the warmer side.

Any advice is appreciated!

I mean if you can help with that...

Control arm bushes most likely - you can test by spraying Q20 on each and go for a drive.

I thought it was that, common issue on mk4 so I had them changed along with the front shocks, apparently that didn't cure it, I'm thinking either sway bar bushings or top shock mounts (don't think they changed this when I had the shocks done but I'm not sure) I've pretty much sprayed q20 everywhere and I cant seem to solve this mystery, so I'm guessing it's professional time but thank you!

Top struts is more a metallic sound than that typical farm bakkie squeak.

Also check in the engine bay, vibrations somewhere could result in a noise similar to suspension noises.

Checked engine and gearbox mounts?
