    Abnormal tire wear. If you're hearing a lot of noise over bumps its more likely the upper shock mount.

    Well I am bringing this car back from the grave so who knows what it is. But what I'm getting is first I noticed when just sitting parked turn the wheel and clunk clunk both ways. Driving it shakes on acceleration stops at about 30 mph comes back at 50mph let off gas shakes till car stops. Constant shake when braking. Also it shakes and clunk harDre when turning. I love this car and hate it at the same time.

    It's a 2001 a6 Quattro 2.7t. I will look into it more just seeing if anyone had suggestions or experience with this.

    shaking is another symptom of that... Just jack the car up and look at rubber bushings, it is about 5 minutes of your time and it will be obvious if they are work or not.
