Hi guys,

 

Has anyone got or know where I can get an exploded view of the full front suspension setup for the 8P, probably similar to ETKA at Audi? Still loving the RS3 which I bought back in December but something up front just doesn't seem to be absorbing small bumbs in the road as well as it should or doesn't seem as 'tight' so I'll be looking at replacing all or as many as I can, bushings, top mounts etc. I've checked tyre pressures and they are all spot on. Running 235 and 225.

 

I've seen the powerflex bushes but from the reviews i've read on here and over on ****-*****, they seem to be a little too firm, even the softest of bushes so i'll probably go OEM which will last my ownership of the car for sure.

 

Cheers  :up_it:

Rob.

If yours still has the original suspension it's probably f##ked & could do with replacing.

PM sent in regards the drawing of the suspension parts.

Much appreciated Dell, I'll check out the PM now  :up_it:

 

But yes I believe it will still be on standard suspension and in all honesty, feels dreadful. It seems like everything has just started to come loose and it's also developed a fair few squeaking noises just recently too so everything will need replacing just to be sure and peace of mind IMO.

 

Cheers mate!
