Default Suspension Replacement

I currently have a little over 93,000 miles on my S4. I have an extended warranty that expires at 100k and am wondering if I should try to get any suspension components replaced before the end of my warranty. Going over bumps just seems noisier than I remember in miles past.

Also, I recently had a tire tear on me on the inner sidewall. Could this be a control arm problem?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Default definitely. The control arms are infamous. Rears sway bar bushings should be checked.

You you have to get service from Audi? you may want to have an independant shop inspect everything...it'll be worth the 1/2 hour of time for a thorough (documented) inspection before bringing it to stealership to complain....it's your last chance.
