New member but I've being reading threads here for a long time. First post, hopefully in the right place.
I can't find anything related specifically to this concern with A3 8P
Any advice and information replied would be much appreciated.
Car is a 2004 A3 8P 2.0 TDI S Line with high mileage 180,000+ . first when going down speeds bumps (the full road width ones), the back end squeaks over around 10mph. If I open the drivers door and stand above the side skirt thing, and bounce the car you can hear it squeak. I now can hear it squeaking on a bumpy country road above around 40mph. Front end suspensions seems to be past it as well, squeaking, I know of a Front Control Arm rear bush what needs replacing as well. That's it.
I've always wanted to go lower so I've bought some coilovers. Whilst these are been fitted and before it gets four wheel alignment, I would like every part possible which would be beneficial to the ride quality and the long run, all to be changed at the same time.
From other posts about other cars, I've heard about camber adjustment, front strut bushings and bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, control arm bushings, downlinks, and Polyurethane Bushing Kit , could someone please indicate exactly what is best replacing? Where is best to buy these parts from? Upgrading quality is what I would also prefer.
Kindest regards
