[s-cars] Suspension bushings and tranny mounts

[Robert Pastore]

Interesting topic.   "Sidestepping" is a great description of what I feel
when my s6 Avant is turned hard in reverse. This happens every day as I back
out of the driveway.   It feels as if one  front tire isn't rolling, but
skidding and jumping a bit -- almost as if the front axle is locked and the
tires are forced to deal with the speed difference from turning by
themselves.   I'm really surprised that this is common!  I still wonder if
something is wrong.

My 93 does it too, but no noise.  More of a "sidestepping" sort of deal.
Always has done it.  Never worried about it.  Chalked it up as a quirk.

I've always wanted to post this:

ME TOO!

I presumed it was deteriorating Anti Roll Bar bushes (the last Audi service
said they were worn, but not an MOT failure).  I'm going to replace them in
the summer.  I've also heard on this list and the mother quattro list a
couple of reports about people with steering racks with loose mounting
bolts.

p.s. thanks for all the emails of sympathy over living in the UK!
