Encouraging to know

My last front suspension overhaul lasted less than 2 years (and probably only 5-10K miles) before the looseness and rattling returned, supposedly all OE parts too. Although I have my doubts about the rear upper arms. Examining the old ones more closely, I can't see any Audi/VAG part numbers.
