Is that the manufacturer? Is the geometry/dimensions/whatever the same as the one you replaced?

Exactly the same mate. Lemforder is owned by ZF which makes the majority of OEM parts.

Hi

Is there any visual signs at all? My Avant rattles like a bast?&d at the back and though Audi have said that the rear DRC is leaking it's only a slight leak. As such, Audi UK have declined the replacement for now. However, I'm loosing the will to live and can't believe it's just down to DRC. But before ploughing money into arms, shocks etc I'd like know what's the cause. Like you, cold weather, first 10-20 mins rattles like anything, then it stops (conveniently just when I get to Camberley Audi), and all is fine.

Car is off to MRC next Friday for a few tests and a dyno check (plus discussion on potential tweaks :D ) etc so just wondered if Doug would be able to spot anything.

Doug will know for sure man, cracked/dozed bushes and lots of play in the arms is a dead giveaway. Really need them up on a ramp to check properly. I went round my car with a pry bar testing every single bush I could get at.
