Default Front suspensions vibes...BAD vibes!!

Hi,

My 2001 2.7T AR is experiencing front suspension vibes at cruising speeds ~65-75 mph. It happened like a year ago. Tires were worn like when you install tires without balancing/alignment...unevenly. I tried to balance and align at dealer but did not work. Put new tires...vibes went away. After some time, vibes came back gradually, now to the same point where they were, and tires are worn again. A local shop, a good reputation shop, told me is a common control arms problem....I checked the torsion bar and the bushings look fine....I was ready to buy that kit they sell here: (http://www.koperformance.com/audi/su...m_link_kit.htm) with all the control arms, links, bushings, etc....for ~590USD....Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I took the car to teh dealer the first time, and they have the Hunter RFV machine, which they used to balance it. Any more ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
