Control arm/strut bushing replacement
Checked the front suspension on my 2.7t today. Everything seems tight, except the bushings where the strut meets the front lower control arm are cracked. Can those be replaced separately, or must you replace the whole arm? Preferred source? At least this might cure my mild vibration.

That bushing is not replaceable. New arm required....
In the past, I'd have recommended Meyle replacement parts, but there seems to be a recent spate of short-lived Meyle control arms. So the new consensus seems to be Febi/Bilstein replacement control arms (or stock Audi parts).
