I just purchased a 1997 A6 with 143,000 miles.  Other than needing new brak=
es/rotors all around, and lower control arm bushings, the car is in excepti=
onal condition.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the cost of rotors has c=
ome down for the newer models in that they are now cheaper than the pagid p=
ads.  I believe the front struts use a gas version as original equipment, b=
ut they still seem to be ok.  Has anyone had to replace the front struts on=
 a 1992 100 or later A6 and at what mileage did they go bad.  Dealer tell m=
e they just don't go bad.  I am getting a little noise from the front end w=
hen I turn the wheel at slower speed if turn the wheel and hope the new low=
er control arm bushing will solve the problem.  If not, I may have to take =
another look at the struts.
