I would be up for a group buy - 69,000 miles and it's definitely feeling a bit looser than it was at 59,000 with the odd clonk.

Just had the car serviced and had advisory that the bushes are wearing and splitting - damn all i need after just paying out for new clutch and major service.

May well be taking you up on some of the stock you have ordered, but probably wont be for a month or two - need finances to recover from Christmas, New Cluch and Service first.

I pressume these prices are to replace the whole arm with the bush in rather than replace just the bush ?

As a matter of interest, at what mileage roughly do the bushes need replacing?

Mine is just shy of 60k - will post up exactly what the Service advisory says.

On my B6 S4 they also needed replacing around 60k miles.

To me this seems early for bushes to go - but hey ho :)

Advisory states: both front upper rear suspension arm bushes splitting, upper front bushes wearing.

Thanks Roy will be in touch when I'm getting done.
