My control arms are a bit loose at the moment too....
but that's another story. I story.

I
wonder if bushings are available to press in (yo Pedro!, Technobushings?)

I definitely find they are a wear item on most cars. On B5/C5 chassis audis, they are good for 60-90k. Then its slowly down hill.

***note to those with Audis: the CAs have tow points of failure: the rubber bushing at one and, and the ball joints that form the "virtual pivot point" at the other end. These dry out and fail; while the rubber slowly cracks and shrinks. The Ball joint end can be prolonged by injecting grease and sealing the boot at the first sign of tell-tale groaning.

I just did all my UCAs as well as strut mounts on the S6 when i did the coil-overs. Nice.
