    I found a 1989 Audi 90 being parted, is there anything good I can/should grab off it?

    I needs to be a 5 cylinder 90, with a two piece front suspension. If it has G54s for front brakes, then this thread will give you an idea of what you can do. I have not completed this project, due to family matters and time, but I will.

    You will need:
    Front struts
    Hub carriers
    Outer CV joints, with boots if they are in good shape
    Lower 19mm ball joints, if the boots ok.
    Brake system, including caliper, carriers, and if decent, the rotors.
    there is a small plastic washer on the back of the CV joint.
    The bump stops and boot from the strut.
    All the bolts holding this stuff together. You will need them later.

    You don't need the:
    Springs, too stiff.
    The shocks, probably shot. If they look like fairly new Boge shocks, take them.
    Axles, won't work on Fox.

    I think that is it.
