Default Re-bushing my car using Powerflex products

greetings,

my B5 S4 avant sits with around 106,500 miles and over time I too, have had the creaks, groans and squeeking coming out of the suspension. At around 65k, i had tie rods and all front end control arm bushings replaced with stock.

there was squeeking and groaning before the replacement, the sound went away for a while, but has come back and like everyone else, its just annoying.

yesterday i shot my sway bar bushings, front and rear, with Tri-flow and took the car out for a test drive. much quieter, especially over the typical speed bump 'test'.

with 106k on the original factory sway bar bushings, should i not consider replacing these bushings, and if so, what experience have users had with powerflex bushings?

Ive been reading quite a bit on these forums about other driver noisy suspension related issues and poweflex comes up in a number of the postings.

thanks!

Im also curious about peoples experience with the Powerflex bushing's. I've been on the verge of ordering the full kit was waiting to hear some reviews from people after having them on their cars for some good miles.

Post any links you might find that could be helpful or informational.
