Hello,
I'm thinking about refreshing my front suspension, especially around the lower control arms. I own the 2012 A3 sline since about 6 years and as far as I can tell, all is original back there (11 years old). From the look of it they are not that bad, but the car has been pulling to the right for years now and no alignements fixed it (numbers looks good but the car still pulls) so I'm looking at what can be refreshed.
I've been reading a lot on the subject and I think I'm pretty decided on what I want. The car is not a track day special and is still carrying the family (hopefully not for long, bigger/newer wagon is on the horizon) but its still my "fun" car. It is lowered on VWR springs/dampers and has the 034 subframe collar kit.
I want to stay away from poly bushings, so I'm looking at upgrading my current OEM S3 (seems like it was installed in sline A3 as well) LCA rear bracket bushing (2 voids) with a RS3 bushing (solid rubber). I was initially looking at anti lift kits, but since they all include poly bushings I'm not too keen on them. UNLESS I could press the RS3 bushing into the anti lift bracket? Is that something even possible? I was interested in the added caster they provide as I find the steering feel a bit numb especially around the center.
So in short, anti lift bracket + OEM RS3 bushing, possible at all?
