    They turned up this afternoon.


    Everything seems to fit perfectly so far.
    Now the re assembly begins.

        Yes, it a good job. Have to say I don't miss having to hunt around for obsolete bushes. That was the biggest pain with the S2 hunting for the correct parts. What's the bill on parts for the S6 looking like? More of less than the S2?

          I will include some tips after I get it back together. A couple of things I've already noticed is that the subframe bushes have no washers and the cross member to diff front bushes are wider than the original and therefore need longer bolts

            I will add it all up at the end but it's looking about the same.

              That is really annoying considering the cost of them. I know someone who makes poly bushes and they're copies of original.

              I will probably have few questions, mainly around what products you've used and things.

                Happy to assist in any way I can.

                I'm really enjoying working on this car and will be looking for my own Urs6 when it goes.

                  I think UrS4/6 are hugely underrated, and always have been undervalued. I picked up my first UrS4 for £2200 road worthy, and £1000 for my current one but was a non starter. Although it was 8 years ago. And C4 has always been better spec car with digital climate control & AC being pretty much standard on most cars.

                    So I assembled the subframe and lined it up under the car. I then slowly dropped the car onto it. It went surprisingly well. I just had to move the brake lines to one side to stop them fouling.






                    I had to search my secret Audi bolt supplies to replace the bolts that weren't long enough. I found two that fitted perfectly and were 10.9 grade.


                    Then with the subframe fitted and bolts still loose, I centralised it. This 10mm socket fitted the internal gap nicely.


                    This should hopefully help with wheel alignment.

                    I'm using new drop links and camber adjusters. Nla at Audi and Lemforder are only available as a half repair kit (plus rather expensive). The quality of these ABS ones look quite good. They are handed and I double checked I was getting them the right way around.


                    It's starting to come together. The new bushes were from Tradition.

                      The handbrake cable guide was completely missing from the right side of the diff. You can see the remains of the bracket wheee someone cut it off.


                      So I re purposed a stainless oil pipe clip. Works nicely. This clip is important as it prevents the handbrake cable fouling the driveshaft.

                        Rear arms went back nicely.
                        I decided to fit the bearings on the car. This eliminates the risk of damage to the nice new powder coating in the vice.


                        I used my Muller tool.
                        Don't forget the inner and outer circlips!




                        Then the hub.



                        Strut going in this afternoon then onto the other side.

                          I'm going to have to burn some midnight oil on this project as my Ur paint is nearly finished.
