Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has changed these yet, is it just a simple jack up the car, unbolt the bracket, and change the bushing?

My car has this nice creak whenever I brake, speed up, or turn a corner and after 3 months it is driving me insane. Due to the fact that it does it speeding up from a stop and braking, I am leaning towards sway bar (it does not creak if you rock the car side to side or front/back by hand, only while driving). I figure the bushings are cheaper than an endlink so I'm starting with those

Spray them with silicone first to identify the problem. May even fix it permanently.

my rear strust were blown. you may check them as well.

I've tried lubricating...nothing I spray in the front works. I know the sound is coming from the driver's front. I can't see it being a shock/stut as you would hear that when shaking the car by hand. The silicone may have calmed it down a bit, but it is bad enough that I didn't really notice (I did have one time that I sprayed every damn bushing I could find on that side and it calmed down a lot for around a week).

did you find a place that sells the bushing?

Audi part numbers for the front sway bar bushing:

4D0 411 327 H (FWD)
8K0 411 327 C (Quattro)

what about rear?

RobC

ETKA doesn't list the rear sway bar bushing and bracket (no p/n) separately. Maybe the bushings come with the bar?

Well that is odd...the 8K0 bushing is almost impossible to find online, but the 4D0 bushing is everywhere. ECS tuning even has the 4D0 bushing listed as for the Audi Quattro 2.0. Is there even any difference between the two or is it just one of those give it a different part number and charge more things?
