My car now has 112,000 miles on it, and had its upper control arms replaced at 94k miles.

I have been told that all the lower control arms and the upper ones as well as tie rod ends require replacing. I got a second opinion, and they said the bushes were old but fine and there is no play in the suspension.

All the front air struts and compressor were changed at 108k miles.

Lots of posts have info about the upper control arms need changing, but not the lower ones. Is this common? I found a kit for around $650 AUD with all the arms and tie rod ends for the D3 and it seemed ok. But I do not know if I am being led up the path so to speak..
