That's what I was thinking. The roads around here are in terrible condition too. I had every every single bush, ball-joint and arm on my S8's suspension replaced a couple of years ago (with OEM parts) and already there's knocking and signs of suspension wear again. It's infuriating considering the amount we pay in taxes. I might give those weld seams a check ...
