Tearing down front suspension next week
I'm changing from original sport suspension to stock suspension. Roads here are (very) bad and winter is long (5 months more or less). When I have the front struts out I plan to drop the subframe and change the subframe bushings front and back. Anything else I should consider replacing while doing this?
I'm also changing drive axle cv boot (both sides).

On uneven roads the car seems to drift a
little more than before.
I didn't notice any play in the control arms or the tie end rods. Will inspect these parts when suspension is down..

Switch to 92 S4 or S6+ springs...
stiffer and slightly lower than than the stock suspension of 93 S-Cars onward... but not as much as the H&R or Eibach's, etc...
Have you considered just raising your current suspension? so keep the stiffness but raise the body so you get more ground clearance, assuming ground clearance is more of an issue than ride comfort...

Yes, Snub Mount :-)
and if you really want a low cost upgrade you can get poly snub mount from "http://greedspeed.com" that looks like it fits our cars for $13 bucks!!!
P.S. I have not tried the greedspeed one, it just looks like it will fit...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/78276.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/78276.phtml</a</li></ul>
