Another question to ask is if the bolts were torqued up with the arms being in correct angle. If they are done in the wrong angle they can get too much twist when car is lowered on wheels and rubber delaminates from metal. I know a friend who changed arms on his A4, tightened bolts while the wheels were still in the air, went to MOT couple of days later and failed because rubber had come loose from the metal in bushes.
