just turned 55k miles, is it time for bushings?
at what point should front bushings be replaced? just hit the 55 k mile mark and still under cpo warranty.

i did get a clunk going from P to R. it was difficult to repeat though.
dealer thought it could also be front struts. he thought the front struts would be covered under cpo.

My Touareg has 56k mi and the front bushings are shot. I get a rubber on metal sound when I release the brakes after a stop. I looked at the control arm bushings and I can see that they have been rubbing on the console that holds them to the frame. Static, there is around a .25 in gap between the edge of the bushing and the face of the console. So there is some good fore and aft movement going on.
I'll be upgrading the Touareg with the Cayenne Turbo S bushings.

Turbo-s lower control arm is said to be sturdier. Might make the steering feel tighter but wont change your suspension rebound behavior. If you want a softer feel I would recommend running slightly oversized tires. I am guessing you are running steel springs (no PASM)? What size are your wheels?

Hey bigbuzuki - do you know if there are other bushings and/or front end suspension components that should be looked at alongside LCA's. On my ML it needed sway bar bushings, end links, etc.
