I took my valuable TDI JSW into the dealer today to have the sunroof recall taken care of. The note they gave me says, "recommned front upper strut bushings collapsed est to replace $ 277.60 plus tax." (spelling not corrected)
That is just the bushings, not the struts. My struts are fine. I just got told by someone else the bushings do collapse over time. What do others have to say about this? I ordered aftermarket bushings and bearings, for less than the VW part department wanted for just the bushings. Am I crazy to consider replacing the bushings but not the struts?
