Its the lower strut arm connected to the front hub.
Joint is prone to premature wear apparently.
I have just had mine checked following a chance call
to the dealer after buying the car from a non-franchise garage.
Guess what?
They need replacing. No surprise there really as if you have full
history VW pick up the bill.
The dealers not going to turn that down are they?

Hope this hepls,

Carlos.
