Hi Folks,
bought my Audi A7 C7 2011 2.0TDi in 2014 when it was around 2 1/2 years olds with 110k on the clock. Motorway miles from company with full history. Since then I have regular serviced and maintained the car, current mileage is 185k. I usually have my MOT and service work done by local garage. This year I decided to take my car to an Audi Main Dealer for an MOT, here is the video from Audicam.

the MOT failed on the bushes on both front lower rear suspension arm (split), think this is the wishbone.
NSF ball joint cover leaking
OFR coil spring broken.
My questions are as follows, the arms have replaceable bushes, should I change the bushes or the complete arms, my garage is insisting on changing the arms rather then the bushes saying it would be safer to change the complete rather then the bush.
ball joint cover, my garage is saying he can change the cover, but I’m thinking I should change both ball joints on the both sides considering the mileage 185k. better to change both or just change cover?
Rear driver side spring is broken, will change in both sides, no issues there.
if I’m changing Both arms, both ball joints, both rear springs, should I go ahead and change the all shock absorbers (front and back). From what I can see they have never been changed, car has done 185k, if thinking I should go the whole hog and get it done.
Let me know what you guys think, would really appreciate your help and advice.
regards, Abdul
