Re: aftermarket suspension bushings

[Carey Lyn <gsi05580@gsaix2.cc.gasou.edu>]

Audi is not perfect other wise they would never have a recall.  (Oooh, he
said Audi isn't perfect.  He's gonna get it!)  Every car company has
flaws , except maybe Porsche.  Do you just keep getting the same part 
or do you upgrade if possible?  I think if there is TRULY something better
then go for it if it suits your purpose.  Do we always keep the stock
radio, rims or wastegate spring and add an aftermarket chip?  I won't
unless they suit me. I know I like quick starts off the line and every
Audi that I've bought needed front subframe bushing, not always due to my
drive style.  Many Audis that I come across loose that tight feeling due
to this.  I can testify to that.  I'm sure there probably won't be an
agreement about this but oh well.  That's life.

So what do racing Audis use?  Is there a sturdier aftermarket bushing that
is not necessarily polyeurothane?
