My wife's A2 (1.4 TDI 75PS) has now covered 140k miles. It's a 52 plate. I've replaced the front shocks previously and just renewed them last year with Meyle shocks after the MOT highlighted a weep on the N/S. In addition I fitted genuine Audi drop-links, coil springs and upper mount bearings. I did the ARB bushes a couple of years ago. The rear springs and shocks have also been renewed, again, possibly a couple of years ago.
We took the car last week on a 120 mile round trip and I was surprised at the ride quality, or rather lack of it. There's a definite shudder (always evident over cobbles or uneven road surface). The only thing that hasn't been replaced is the front wishbones. Are these straight-forward to replace, and any tips? Also, do Meyle or Lemforder make them, or is the preference to go for genuine Audi?
Anything else indeed to look for if I'm stripping the front suspension out again, subframe bushes, etc?
