Default Need front hub assembly....D2 FL S8

Am gutted, my S8 failed her MOT for the first time ever - front suspension lower arm bush disintegrated. On closer inspection, I will need a whole hub assembly due to the bi-metal corrosion / fusion, nothing is shifting the bolt, heat, force whatever

Price from Audi is £360 for the hub assembly alone, then still have to buy the arms - another £100 ish, garage are quoting £650 to include all parts and labour, using the Audi hub. My S8 is a 2001 D2, needs the front hub that clears the Brembo caliper.

Any ideas as to where suitable parts can be sourced and prices I should expect?

Also should both near and off fronts be done at the same time? They are both the same age, original fitment, nearing 14 years old now, 100 000 miles on the clock.

Advice appreciated. i cannot do the work myself, so will need to factor in labour.

The garage I use is a small independent, not an Audi specialist and generally very reasonable. I told them to phone A8 Parts, which they say they did and no parts available but it was too late for me to check as it was after 5 when they called. So before anyone says "forum sponsors" they seem not to have any parts this time.

I asked them to hold off ordering anything until I had researched a bit more, which they were happy to do but every breakers I have tried say sorry, sold.
