Ah....my bad. I leased so didn't look into the extended warranty and this is my first Audi. I'm pretty shocked Audi would choose such terrible coverage plans to be their "administured by" extended warranty connected to the Audi name. That's about the worse coverage I have every seen and certainly does not seem to project a good image/feeling towards Audi. I'm more accustomed to other European brands that offer extended warranties to come close to mirror the factory warranty, or like the CPO warranties. I'd be pretty unhappy with coverage like this...hope it was way cheap! Bummer for those that didn't read the fine print (or don't have a lot of "car knowledge" to know what should and should not be covered).

I have used both the Volvo VIP contract (administered by Warrentech) and the Lexus Platinum VSC warranty on previous cars. They offer these for any make and model. The coverage is absolutely crazy-good, virtually mirror a CPO contract. For me the pricing was also completely in-line with other warrants with less coverage. In fact, the Lexus warranty was for a CPO Volvo that was about to expire, and the Lexus plan covered some items the CPO didn't (and Volvo has been voted best CPO plan now for like 4 years in a row). Both were excellent, but I can't say enough good things the Lexus VSC plan and it's coverage. And coming from a premium manufacturer the claims process was always a snap and super professional with no endless "approval phone calls".

I have had great experience with fidelity in my past porsches
Also that's one of the two underwriters for the audi branded plan and my dealer says they're very easy to work with

And think about it...Audi's OEM warranty covers it TO 50K.
From their website (Silver or higher plan) it includes coverage for these items:
"FRONT SUSPENSION
Upper and lower control arms, shafts and bushings; tension rods/radius arm and bushings; struts, housing and cartridge; spindle/steering knuckle and spindle support."
I checked their Silver contract and there is no limitation on these items for mileage or exclusion for wear and tear (Gold and Platinum plans are the same). Perhaps the coverage has changed since you had your plan. Fidelity has been known to make modifications from year to year to remain competitive.

I'll have fiancé try it. All they can say is yes or no. That squeaking is really bad for that cat. Not patient enough to drive a hour or more waiting to stop. That tells me it's worn bushings. It didn't do it at all till I kicked it down going on slight decline. The whole car twisted a little like it wanted to go a little airborne. And a low flying jet
