How is there no list anywhere on the internet of all the bolts you need to replace when dropping your subframe...

Why are you dropping the subframe? I'm dropping mine soon.

Replacing lower control arms. DSG is in the way of one bolt so it has to come down.

Suspension overhaul is next on the agenda for me after the diff, trans, FSB, and deadset subframe bushing kit.

126k but remember, it's 10 years old now.
One of my rear control arm bushings is bad & on parts.com you can get the arm with both bushings already assembled for ~$130, so ~$350 for both arms with all the needed hardware including all of the subframe bolts (hopefully)

I am doing the deadset now. Doing the deadset, H&R FSB, trans, dieselgeek SS, LSD, new clutch master cylinder, and a few other things now.
Coils, new LCA bushings and an ALK will come after. Two alignments but I can't do it all right now.

Got my car inspected by the dealer for the fender rust. They sent me to the body shop so they'd have an estimate for when the regional guy comes down next week.
Estimator: Did you know that just about every panel on your car has been repainted at some point?
Me: No.
Fun times.

Estimator felt pretty positive it's never been in an accident and that it was probably surface damage that happened on the trip from Germany to the U.S. Apparently it's not uncommon for a dealership to take ownership of a car and have to do body work before they put it up for sale.
