Hey everyone. I have a 2009 A3 8PA. It's had an MOT advisory for the past couple of years: "Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement Nearside Front (rear bush) [5.3.4 (a) (i)]." I'm probably going to put some new suspension springs in soon (myself doing all the work), so I thought it made sense to sort this advisory out at the same time.
I'm handy with tools but relatively new at in-depth car maintenance. From what I have read so far, it sounds like I'd be best off replacing the whole suspension arm, rather than fiddling about with bushings. I like to put good quality components in my car, but I also don't want to spend TOO much, as the car's not worth a huge amount. So far, I've seen the following recommended: Lemforder, Febi, Meyle. Am I on the right track? What would you put in a older but loved A3?
Thanks. Matt
