Default Does anyone make urethane suspension bushings for the A4?

I need to replace all of my front control arms and wonder if there is an option that would allow me to not replace the arms but only the bushings.

TIA,
Mike O.

Default Powerflex makes front bushings for the A4. Their US distributor is SPA.

Default OPMD is where I got the Powerflex bushings for my XR4Ti, they have a package deal...

for the whole front set, saves about $25.

They were a HUGE improvement in my XR, but I haven't had a chance to get them for my A4.....yet <ul><li><a href="http://www.opmd.com/cat16_1.htm">http://www.opmd.com/cat16_1.htm</a></li></ul>

Default Hey Mike....

Thats a great idea.

I would suggest using a very high quality lube on the bushings when installing. Something that water and salt wont break down in time. Hands down, the vote goes to Lubro-Molys High Tack Lube!

Let me know how the job goes, I might look into this as well.

Default Yeah, they're extrmely good about writing back.

I'll be ordering a gauge and shift light from them very soon. They've always answered my questions very quickly.

Their gauges aren't cheap though!
