    Weak points of the car she go are: Front suspension,

    I hear that a lot, but I've never seen any of those links go bad. I've done a few outer tie-rod ends, and we have a 230k A8 in our care that is going to need the upper links soon - the bushings are starting to get sloppy, ball joints are fine.

    I have rebuilt my entire front suspension TWICE. The car currently has 190K kms ( about 118 K miles) on it.
