Rear Stabilizer or Sway Bar

[Patrick Washburn]

Thanks for the info.  This sounds just like mine.  I knew the bushings 
would need replacing when I bought it...the new ones are kicking around in 
the back seat at the moment.  These should make the transition handling 
much more predictable, as you stated.  ( as well as getting rid of 
the "thunk")  :)

The main reason I want the roll stiffness is to improve the camber curve.  
If it's anything like my old 4K, the camber curves on Audi's stink.  Any 
way you can control body roll will have a significant affect where the 
rubber meets the road, and that will have a larger impact on grip more than 
any other single and simple mod I can think of.  Glad it helped your 
car...I'm looking forward to getting mine done soon!
