My A1 VW is plenty tight at half million miles. And get's 40mpg.
My 300D's lower control arm bushings and tie rod ends were shot when I replaced them at just over 218K miles. I think my lower ball joints might need replacing now as well. I've read replies by other members not too long ago saying the same thing that the front suspension components are usually in need of replacing by 200K miles.
