Well after the last 4.5 years having SORN'd my 928 S4 for various reasons, including COVID, I finally managed to get her booked into a Pre-MOT today to find out what I need to add to my list of things to do to get her back on the road. To my surprise the only 2 things it failed on were the NS & OS upper suspension bushes [both of them] and an offside rear CV split boot. Amazing! A couple of advisories were NS & OS inner rack joints and a couple of oil weeps which is totally understandable standing for so long. LED headlights and windscreen tinting passed no problems.
I took her for a little spin on the return journey home and for sue the steering was very lose and there seemed to be some slap in it along with some jolts form the suspension over large bumps.
So my to-do list
Get the upper suspension bushes - suggestions as to where and what type
Replace any other bushes etc. whilst I have the suspension stripped
Get a refurb steering rack - any suggestions as to the best place to get this?
Likely update the shocks and springs whist I have the front in bits - suggestions on best way forward for a road car
new tyres all round obviously
The plan is to get all this done by the end of May 2023 ready for the Laon Historic Rallye in France.
Here's hoping and fingers crossed!
Kind Regards
Steve
