Rear Suspension Maintenance?

[B7_Avant]

Hi All, I have 95k miles on 06 Avant and I just finished replacing all my front control arms and tie rods, and now that the front is new I can notice the rear has slop in it. I have been searching and looking for replacement bushings or parts for the rear suspension but have found next to nothing. Can anyone help me out? I've searched the suspension forum, but didn't find anything there either.

What are the most common wear items in the rear suspension?
Does anyone know a good source for replacement bushings or parts for the rear suspension (I'm unfamilar with it on this car)?
Are all the parts identical to B6 S4's?


Thanks for the help

check your sway bars links, maybe your struts are going? but i dont think that there is too much back there.

Thanks, I did the links and bushings when I went to an RS4 rear sway. The struts/shocks are most likely due for replacement, which I plan on doing once I make sure all the rubber stuff is in good shape.

It sounds like your rear trailing arm bushings? i havent really worked on the suspension in this car but thats what it sounds like
