Another suspension issue... 2012 A8L 105k miles
Hello all,
I recently got my front control arm bushing done last month and the car isnt that great of a ride on the highway and still rough over bumps in the city and back roads with the new Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 plus tires inflated at normal load pressure. Theres a new noise coming from the rear left suspension which was replaced last year due to air leak and when I was sitting in the rear on the left side I could feel and hear a popping sound/sensation when the A8L was going over rough bumps and perpendicular ruts in the road when my father was driving the car. When I sat in the right rear of the A8L over the same bumps it felt so much smoother and I can feel the suspension damping the road vibes and bumps so nicely like when the car was new so I dont know if the dealer did a bad job and didnt put the new air suspension in properly in the left rear last March or theres a new problem but either way its rougher on the left rear compared to the right rear and that is probably why I dont feel the ride to be smooth (glass smooth ) even on the smoothest highway with my tires road force very well.
