Hi Howie, just a question, I drove a d4 yesterday, (very nice, first one ive driven) belonging to a friend of a friend, they said they just bought it second hand. They were concerned about a knock in the front end. I road tested it and found a knock when braking hard, and also when entering a driveway. So I put it on a hoist and looked under it and found a lot of what I would call abnormal movement In both the front lower arm rear bushes. I also showed them where the car yard had tried to spray all sorts of lube around the front end as well as putting heaps of grease on the steering stops. They obviously knew about the knocking. Is this an inherrant fault with the d4's? Are the bushes replaceable? I told them to take it back to the dealer to get it fixed under the warrenty they got. They've had it 3 days and travelled here (Adelaide), from Melbourne, travelling back tomorrow.

Cheers Rod
