    Avant Rear Bushes

    I was having a poke around yesterday to try to see why I've got to much negative toe on one side on the back of my Avant. The tie rod looks OK but the bushes on the lower arm looked very soft and had a lot of movement in them so I'm thinking they need to be replaced.

    Is it an easy-ish job to change these bushes? I don't fancy disconnecting the brake pipes and handbrake cable so I'd be looking to take the wishbone bolts out and lever the wishbone down to get at the bushes (after I've disconnected the shocker). Is this a good idea or does the wishbone have to come out?

    Also. I'd like to upgrade to Powerflex bushes whilst doing this job. Is it the ones for the A4 Quattro that I want?

    Cheers
