S4 (B6 & B7 Platforms) DiscussionDiscussion forum for the B6 Audi S4 produced from 2003-2005 And B7 Audi S4 produced from 2005 -2008
I have been a member for sometime, but this is my first post.
I have a completely stock 2005.5 (B7) Audi S4 Quattro. The problem that I am having is tire rub on both the front tires. The front end almost seems to move back and forth, then forcing the tires to rub on the control arms. I have big gouges taken out of the inside of both of the front tires.
I have a mechanic looking at it now, but he tells me that all the bushings in the control arms look good and are getting no significant play. The mechanic has suggested to replace one tie rod and do an alignment.
Does anyone out there have any other ideas, this seems like having a front end with 2-3 inches of movement can be a serious problem.
I also had Audi do a standard safety inspection after they did some work no more than a month ago and they did not say anything about frame damage, etc. Also, the car has never been in an accident to my knowledge.
