I just looked up price for the front control arm kit for the Allroad. I had bought and installed a few kits (Blaupart, FC Groton) for the A4 (low to mid $300), and A6 (bit more; no real reason I guess, just because they can?).
Ocap of Italy Audi A6 Control Arm Kit Includes:
Qty 8 Improved Upper and Lower Front Control Arms w/ Installed Bushings and Ball Joints
Qty 2 Meyle Improved Drivers and Passengers Side Front Tie Rod Ends
Qty 2 Drivers and Passengers Side Front Sway Bar Links
Complete Hardware KitToday's price for A6: $545. Wow.
Over to Allroad:
Qty 4 Ocap Improved Upper Front Control Arms w/ Installed Bushings and Ball Joints
Qty 4 German OEM Lower Front Control Arms w/ Installed Bushings and Ball Joints
Qty 2 Meyle Improved Drivers and Passengers Side Front Tie Rod Ends
Qty 2 Ocap Drivers and Passengers Side Front Sway Bar Links
Complete Hardware Kit
1 Tube Anti-Seize Assembly Lubricant (Not Shown)
(Note: same scope)
Kabooom: $1,325.95
HAVE THEY LOST THEIR MIND? This is robbery.
Worth looking into importing that stuff at this profit margin! Probably 15 Chinese guys out there selling it for $200 the kit.
