Re: Strange sound from rear - Bad shock?



<do you know if the front control arm bushings are the same as the rear...
<strange noise from front of 87 4000S...
  I would have to check to be sure, but my gut feeling is no.  I don't know
 about quattro models, but on the FWD, I beleive the rears are larger in
 diameter than the fronts.  My mehcanic says that the fronts are a
 "weak spot" for the 4000 series, but I haven't really heard anyone complain
 about the rears.  Are yours bad?  Side to side of front to back movement in
 the axle?
