4ks suspension

[roger@mostro.sps.mot.com (Roger Albert)]

Hi all,

So, I tore into my water damaged Haynes this morning (came that way)
hoping to tear into my suspension with equal vigor, on this, my 2nd
full day of Audi 4kS ownership.  Goal: dampers that damp.  OK, the
rear looks like a standard shock procedure.  The front looks like
a suspenison rebuild.  How doable is this for a shade tree mechanic.
I've done ground up MC restos, but this ball joint prying and strut
stuff is very new to me.  Any gotchas?  Yes, I've read the Haynes,
but they make everything sound straight forward.  What is a fair
price for front strut replacement (labor only) in case I wimp out
?  If I do it myself, is there anything else that I _really_ ought
to replace while I'm in there?  Thanks for any help.

regards
roger

p.s.  Oh yeah, what are the Bentley manuals I keep seeing mentioned?
