So I got my clutch installed/replaced about 230 miles ago. Starting to get a real bad clunk noise on the right side of my car. I provided brand new ECS set subframe bolts for the installer. Anyone know what it could be? Do I need to take it somewhere to make sure the bolts are torqed to spec or will a realignment fix it? I'm clueless.

Dead link. But yea yea yea. I was warned before that I would probably end up needing those. I just figured if they torqued the bolts right a new set would have lasted me a little bit.

It's a somewhat common issue. Some fix it using Audi bolts, but Tyrolsport has a set with collars, should work much better.

i tried to tell ya man. it's near impossible to center them properly without the washers. mine has the same clunk, but i'll be adding the deadset kit this winter.

I guess I will be to. Easy install or does a shop need to do this?

no you can do it. you can undo bolts one at a time and some bolts don't even need to be removed.

Is this what you got? http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_VI--2.0T/ES2102460/
Or did you just get new bolts themselves?
