if you just admit that you have to take it all apart, then it is not that bad, and replacing all 4 arms and that sway bar link is easiest if you do 'em all at once. also, if you think you're smart and think you know its 'only the lowers', you're sure to be wrong and the clunk will be back, and you'll be tearing into those plush ball joints again.
I've owned my 99 for 9 years, and although Its a job that has been done a lot, she's beat on in Boston area, has 255K, and rocks. I've spent the OE bilstein price, the febi mid-price, and the low end valco stuff, and they're pretty much all the same…they wear out.
While the design is functioning (40-60K), its an accurate and modern feel, and all audi has kept this general design to this day.
THere's a lot of tips over on Passatworld, audiworld, VWvortex.
Definitely a DYI, and I'd be happy to extend pointers later.
