take it to a VAG specialist, they'll give a list of options for parts or order the parts through them, alternatively go to VW or audi and give them the list and fit the items yourself

- Wishbone bushes? If so get OEM Audi TT ones or polybush them
- Ball joints, wheel bearings - go to the Stealers
- Brakes, unless you're running massive power just get some vented discs and road use pads - I replaced mine with APEC last time I did them and can't complain.

Just rang my local lookers WV
Do these prices seem ok i expected them to be abit dearer to be honest. im going for wishbones with standard bushes allready in
reason being the cheap wishbones thats on mine now, if i get polybushes fitted to them it might not solve my problem
here are the prices i need 2 of each of these parts.
wishbones with bushes £68.17 +vat each
ball joints £27.35 + vat each
bearngs £47.6+vat
Fitting these my self aint really an option, last year i fiitted the brake discs, and had a sqeek ever since and a huge ridge in the discs , so something went wrong lol.
ill find a VAG garage and get them fitted at same time
thanks for help

Get the 18inch Anni bearing if you can. It'll last longer that the standard one as its designed for the bigger wheels. Would you not be better off with the TT wishbone bush at £27 for the 2 and get them pressed into your old wishbones? £68.17 for a wishbone is a bit OTT in my view. Also have you seen the kits that PSI do?

Where you located? might be a member local by willing to help?

The wishbones that are currently on the car are crap. well im presuming they are,. they was cheap ones
so not going to take any chances and just change the lot
im from preston lancashire, if there are any Good mechanics close by let me know.

wheres the ones you had on before as in when you bought the car?
Its more than likely that the bushes in them are the problem. You could still pick up a set of genuine one from eBay and fire in the TT bush for less than the price of the ones above.
