    Is the lower control arm bushings liquid filled?

    Does anyone know if the C7 lower control arm bushings liquid filled, I discovered a puddle under my car which was plum in color and search all over for wet or damp spot but only seen traces of the fluid on the inner rear mounting point of the lower control arm. It's now Friday night and probably have to wait until Monday to talk to the dealer service dept.; maybe I can get an answer before then.

    Probably a motor mount that dripped down onto the control arm. Generally suspension bushings are solid rubber or urethane.

    Yes . The inner bushing is filled with an oil. If your car is still under warranty it will be covered. NAPA has them for about half the price of Audi and it's made by the same company as OE. Pretty straight forward job.

    Just got my control arm replaced under warranty, 3g module replaced and sun glass holder would not stay closed fixed. However I did some looking around under the car and found new traces of leaks at the other side this time, not sure if this is common with people not noticing this yet but it's unusual I find this with a car under 20k miles on it. Need to set a new appointment with service once again. URGHHH...
