Also the clutch, and if you have any wheel bearing issues, now is the cheapest time to fix them because its easier to do from the inside while the axles are off the trans axle.

One of the reasons I pulled the trigger was the amoung of work ($6k, little of it engine, so carries over) we did on the car last year. On the suspension side, we replaced all 4 CV joints and nothing was mentioned about the wheel bearings
Good news is that there are No clutch issues as it a Tiptronic. Bad news is that being a Tip I never had to drop the trans and thus have a chace to do the IMS at the same time.
