My control arms bushings are busted. I had a fender bender couple of weeks ago where guy hit me from behind while I was holding down the brake pedal. He pushed me at least a foot ahead and I hit the dude in front of me and left my front license plate in his fender ( that looked weird ). I thought I was lucky to get out of there with only 2 paint chips but now I can feel there is a gap in steering system somewhere up front when I apply brakes or hit a bump. After lifting the bug and performing a close inspection I found out it's the rear bushings on both sides of control arms. They broke in half even though they are only less then a year old!! I am gonna replace rear and front bushings with Audi TT control arms bushings sometimes next week.
