Table 1 shows two common suspension related problems of the 1996 Volkswagen Passat.
| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problems | |
| Front Suspension Coil Spring problems |
Wheel bearing failed on the driver's side causing vibration in steering wheel.
Right rear coil spring is broken in one section, causing frequent creaking noise. Vw service keeps telling my auto repair guy that they are ordering it. They now say they cannot locate the part; put out nationwide search!I'm worried about safety. Original.
