Default 190,200 miles and now needs front control arms.

Dang, figured I'd make it past 200,000 before needing any suspension work. Not too bad though considering lots here need suspension work at 100,000 miles or less. Thinking the sport suspension only moves maybe half as much as std suspension contributing to the longer life maybe? Working on greasing up my front brake caliper pins this weekend and noticed my front top control arm bushings bit the bullet on both sides, all four at once!

I see BlauParts is pre-ordering for complete control arm kits for our C6's, may have to put my order in.

Hear my right rear doing some creaking when cornering lately, figured it was going bad, I don't see any tell tale signs in the rear on those bushings, but the front, holey quick bushing failure Batman! They were fine less than 5000 miles ago!

I did the control arms around 100k miles. You did very well with yours.
