rear suspention

[Packy]

So I'm at 92K miles on my '13 S6. I'll be replacing the front suspention parts with 034. It's starting to "wander" and pull to the left when braking.

What about the rears? I can't seem to find anything on the rears as far as write ups or parts. Do the rear bushings never fail? Have any of you ever rebuilt the rear and if so, what parts did you use?

If its pulling left while braking its got a problem with the brakes, probably the front brakes to be exact. Wandering could mean suspension parts are needed but it also could just need an alignment. Have the brakes and suspension checked first before dropping money on parts you may not need.

There's not many options for rear control arms, no aftermarket options. From what I read while replacing my front control arms is Audi's seem to like to eat front arm bushings, but rears survive much longer. I looked at mine while replacing the fronts, all bushings look good at 63k.

Yes, the rear bushings fail just like the front. Mainly the upper control arm bushings. Luckily, those can be pressed in so you don't have to buy a new arm. Definitely have those replaced because they can cause rear end "twerking" which affects steering. The lower arm is going to be questionable. So it will be up to you if you want to change it cause I think you have to buy the whole arm.

As for the front, it's not the brakes but the lower control arms that have failed. I would stay away from 034 control arms. They don't last long and they transmit more vibrations into the cabin. Been there-done that. Stick with Lemforder. I would also replace the inner and outer tie rods. Don't forget to tighten the suspension under load and get an alignment.

Been told twice that they are bad. Guess you make "the charm" lol If it still does it's thing after the front, I'll hit the rear arms. I'm getting rear mount inserts done with the suspention. It'll be a bit rougher but since I can't buy the C8 Vette...
