Nice to drive but many front suspension faults

Had this car from new and over the last few years it has become apparent that there is a fault with the front suspension intermittent fault appeared on the cusp of the 3 year warranty running out, dry rubbing sound that was not easily distinguished from what point or area this was coming from, cutting this story short it had it's 36000 service March of this year to to my horror it was found that the main front bushes were severely worn both sides, the replacement of both these hit me hard with just over 1k to replace both lower arms, we are now at 40k mileage and we have the rubbing sound back again, needless to say I have now left VW, I'm just letting people know that if they are looking to purchase a Touareg have a good mechanic to check the front suspension, I did right to VW head office UK but they were not interested, Due to there lack of customer compassion, I'm now in the process of waiting for a different brand of vehicle and cant see my self ever having another VW.
