Hi all,
Finally got my car back to running and now I need to address a failing front driver side wheel bearing.
Due to the amount of things needing to be taken apart while doing the front wheel bearings I figured I might as well update some other things also since the car is about 317000 miles on it now.
This is what i thought of doing..
1) lifting the front end using wheel spacers approximately an inch or so basically make the car sit level and get additional ground clearance.
2) replace the front struts with koni active units.
3) while I'm in there I figure I might as well replace the control arm with idparts unit with audi tt bushings.
4) install polyurethane bushings and endlinks on the factory sway bar or would it be worthwhile replacing the factory sway bar with something heavier?
5) since the rotors in the front for a little bit on the low side as well as warped i need tk replace those too ... any Thoughts on stock vs drilled and slotted?
6) would subframe bushings be worthwhile doing at the same time?
7) of course I'll check over all the other suspension components. That's what I was thinking at least while I was in there...
Any ideas or suggestions in addition to what I'm thinking?
Thanks in advance for any and all help
