I have so far.... replaced all 8 control arms. Replaced the swaybar links with Meyle bolt thru ones. CV joint replaced. Eibach springs...(bilsteins on the way). Tierod assemblies (inner, outer) replaced. Then alignment (which is still off...dunno why. ECS did not mention any problems) Will re-align tomorrow. Still a slight clunking noise when accelerating or deccelerating. I will be pissed if the ball joints in the control arms are damaged due to all of the servicing done at multiple times. Any ideas? Subframe loose? Are there bushings in the subframe? Steering rack? (the car tracks fine minus the bad alignment. No veering after switching back to 245/45-18s)

Did you do this all yourself or did you bring it in to have it done? How much did it cost? I'm thinking I'll need to have these done at some point.

The bearings were about 300 bucks a side i believe.

My dealer quoted $900 to replace one front wheel bearing...

-OvO-

But you have to take the whole "wheel bearing housing" off, and there are some must-replace parts in there.

And then you have to do an alignment on it.

I'm trying to figure out how to press out the bearing while it's still on the car, for when I eventually need to do mine. I bet I could rent a hydraulic ram, I just need to have the right scaffolding to push against. Hm. For that matter, I own a bottle jack...

I'll bet the owner drives a Bentley as well....my owner to my garage owned an A6.
