Control arms replaced.....more :)

what a difference! Unbelieveable!

Feels like a brandnew car again, all the "slop" is gone, all the clunks are gone, steering is better, little bumps are absorbed better, just amazing. Very happy, and the best part, these are the updated versions of all the controls arms.

Warrantybynet. I have a zero deductable but the warranty company doesnt agree with the 95/hour labor charges so I had to pay $80 bucks but I'll get reimbursed.

How do you know if you have bad control arms?

DoubleA6 · 05-06-2003, 02:13 PM

both sides, the ride is so much better now.

Same here, but thanks to Audi Assured, an $1850 job was only a $50 deductable and Ive never had any issues since.

What kind of mileage do you (all) have??

Did you have both front and rear upper links replaced and OEM parts or aftermarket?
