87 5tq bushings

re: instant oversteer due to toe changes

Yep, that's a famous symptom.  In fact, from that description I'd even
guess
that your problem lies primarily in the *control arm* bushings rather than
the sub-frame bushings.  Collective list wisdom?

Wherever you get the parts, make sure they are Audi OEM parts.  I've seen
others
(both rubber and urethane) fail within 6-18 months.  Note that even a
well-respected
source (and Audi dealer)  on this list (who will remain nameless) got my
part numbers
wrong.  [[Uh, *name here*, are there really *6* bushings on each sub-frame,
or might
the extra two hold the rear diff?]]

The job is involved, but not complex.  Need to press out most of the
bushings, which I won't
attempt.  Need to re-allign everything, for the most part.

My advice?  If you plan to keep the car, get at it, and do them all at
once.  No need to spend
another $200 plus $100 allignment, to repalce the final $50 worth of parts
you might
save on today.
