Have a 2000 A6 Quattro with 140K miles and have some play in the front suspension when I pry on the parts.

I want to know if the bushings can be pressed out and replaced or do you have to completely replace the bars. I am seeing play in what looks like the sway bar ends and two other bars.

In looking at the prictures it looks as though one could just buy the bushings. Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

 

Sway bar bushings yes, ive never heard of anyone doing it though. Upper control arms (upper bars), no. On some lowers it might be possible, I have seen NAPA selling just the bushings, but none of my arms can be pressed. I have never heard of anyone doing anything but replacing the arms and I have heard many stories since its a common problem.
