Todd,

$320 is pretty steep, especially with all the problems our other cars are
having now (see my recent cries for help).  How easy are the subframe
bushings to replace?  Is there an easy way to check the condition of my
existing bushings?  Or do I assume they're bad because the TQC has 135k
miles on the original bushings?

I promised myself that the TQC would be the money pit toy I've always
wanted.  However, in the past year, I've spent in excess of $30k aquiring
and maintaining our 3 primary vehicles.  Yes that's small potatoes for some
(especially those who bought their Audis brand new for cash), but it only
hasn't been a drain on my marriage because the cars were running great!
They're not now so it'll be hard for me to openly buy the bushings (like buy
them without telling Liesl) when the tranny is dead in our wagon!

If Eric says this is a "must buy" component, that it will transform the
handling of my TQC, then sign me up.  Otherwise, I'll have to pass.

Thanks for the effort.
