Clicking noise coming from front end of 06 B9

hearing a clicking noise from the front end of my B9. Im thinking it may be the engine hood maybe its loose? idk it happens when i hit a bump or hit the brake, sometimes it just makes the sound when it wants to..im stumped.

Is it when you go over rough suffice?
My sound that way when I hit holes or bumps.

yes! if i hit a bump or hit the brake hardish i here this clicking noise that sounds like something is loose...i heard it may be the tire bushings or whatever "bushings" are exactly

Front Swaybar bushings..... Had mine replaced at the dealership for $130 including parts.

But the jub is EASY... should have done it myself.

According to the tech... it happens ALL THE TIME.

My 06 was doing the same thing, the bushings are a "clunky" noise where the pitch rod is like you said a "clicky' noise. The pitch rod attaches the engine/trans to the fire wall. It is a urethane dogbone shaped item behind the engine. The TSB says that some of the brackets that hold the pitch rod to the firewall are cracking and causing the flexing which is the noise you hear. The fix is to weld ( I think) the piece back together. It never came back when I had mine looked at and taken care of...
