Default Squeaks caused by anti sway bar plastic bushings

The dealer identified the highly annoying squeaking on my car as the crap plastic bushings Audi bonds to the anti-sway bars.

The entire rest of the automobile universe uses individual rubber or polyurethane bushings that can easily be changed but the braintrust at Audi decided to BOND crap plastic bushings directly onto the metal sway bar. Guess they don't understand that suspension components work and flex which causes bonded parts to tear or crack. Will let you know if they honor the warantee which my car still is covered by.
