Don't go to the Autoparts store for the strut bearings... ECSTuning.com sells a kit with the bearings and bushings for around $35.

 

Okay since I'm not going to the auto parts store here are my typical girl ?'s

1.) It's says Upper Strut Mounting Kit... Is there a Lower Strut Mounting Kit?

2.) The kit only comes with a pair of each... Should I replace all 4 or just do 2?

3.) What the hell is the difference between struts and shocks??

Don't say I didn't warn you

 

1) Upper kit only, there is no lower kit.

2) You only need the one kit, one bushing and one bearing on each front. The rears are a standard spring and shock setup.

3) Look at the rear suspension and you will see the shock angling off to the rear. A strut (as on the front) is part of the support of the suspension system and is integral to the front suspension. A shock doesn't add support, it just dampens the spring motion.

 

and get your power steering fluid from the dealer. I believe there was some issue or something with mixing fluids. You know how Audi is with their proprietary stuff...
