   Matt:
    I also have a 93 90s quattro and it DOES make a noise (sometimes)
when i turn left (only left) slowly,  this is very annoying (as u know).
I have taken my car to my audi dealer three times!! and no dice they
look through the suspension and tell me everything is ok, and i am still
left with the noise. I am excited about the prospect of geting this
problem fixed however, i am learry, as i should be, about the cost.
Anyway, thak you for your suggestion I will follow it through.
