LCA and other suspension failures....
Are these replaced because of the bushings or is the shape or metal of the part defective? If its the bushings, why not just buy some aftermarket stuff like Energy Suspension and replace that part only?

The control arm that fails has integrated bushes not changeable. the powerflex aftermarket bushes ar
the tie bar set.$58 If your car is quattro u need 2 tie bar kits.
the TCA set $65
and the top strut mount set. $115
prices converted from the £ prices in the powerflex catalogue.

you can buy the bushings separately. why cant they be replaced? Even if they are pressed in it is
possible. I might be wrong but who knows. I do know that the dealer only replaces the whole shabang. I think that they are just to lazy to mess with replacing bushings. They would rather charge 285 smackaroonies for a control arm than 25 bucks for a simple bushing.
Just my 2 cents
