Suspension bushes

[dorksville]

Hi all I have an Audi q7 2018 model. Whilst Audi had the vehicle due to a knocking noise found it was driveshaft 😒. They also did a health check and found the bushes will need replacing soon, however they pulled my pants down on the price. Now it seems tricky but I would like to put uprated bushes for this particular vehicle but I cannot find the right bushes for the front end. Even if I can’t go down that route what’s the best place to get a blueprint? And potentially someone up north west direction that is happy to tackle doing the bushes 😅

Audi will charge you north of £180 a hour. Suspension, you’re probably talking minimum of 6 hours. Which bushes are you talking about? I’d be wary of sticking on things like Powerflex or similar and change the ride completely.

Assuming it’s lower arms or even upper arms, then Meyle HD or Lemforder. Parts will be expensive, but it is what it is. After work is done you’ll need a tracking alignment check.

Most independent garages won’t fit if you buy parts, but will order on your behalf.

Can’t help on garage on North West. I follow Decimal Tenths (North East), and seem dedicated.
