Audi will sell you an ARB with bushes fitted, or you can, as I did, replace the bushes separately.

See this thread, and posts around #17 onwards specifically.

I’ve had no issues since fitting mine.

If you’ve got ramps it’s a really easy and quick job, aside from the undertray to replace them.

Not saying I’d go for the cheap ones because of this, but if you were to and they didn’t last it wouldn’t be the actual end of the world.

The noise has gone when going over speed bumps but probably more to do with new links than the STABILIZER BAR BUSH KIT itself. In hindsight, I could have just done the links and saved the time, hassle and money.
