Are you having any trouble with squeaks from your front suspension? For instance when you pull into a driveway at an angle. I think autoX has worn out some of my bushings but I can't locate the exact cause.

I used to but I had 95000+ miles when I heard the squeaking/clunking.
This is what happened:

Lower front control arm bushing (inner) was completely shot and popped out on the L+R side.

I bought the Energy Suspension Lower control arm bushing kit which also comes with he Compression Rod bushing. When I got it, it was actually for LOWER + UPPER for both the front and rear.

I lost a lot of slop that was there before and the car has never felt tighter than it has now. I'm at 100,500 miles and it's running like a champ.

How many miles do you have?

That's a good solution. I might have to go that route if the bushings get worse. I'm at 40,000 right now.

If it was around 5-6PM that was me.
Was going home from work. Were you going the same or opposite direction?

Yep, going next sunday on the 24th at Giants Stadium
www.motorsportsne.com
sign up! I always do the AM session.

Which club do you run? Motorsportsne has a class for heavy sedans...so that's where I'm placed in. Only other guy I'm running against is a 2011 BMW 535i Xdrive. You should sign up for the 24th! It'd be cool to have another G sedan running.

Ahh ok cool. Maybe I'll catch you next time.

Nope keeping the rack, I use it a lot. Go Mountain Biking at least 1-2 times a week and in the winter I go skiing with the G. It does actually get used! Can't say the same for all the Vdub guys that I saw this weekend going down to Waterfest.
