Hi,

The three bolts that hold the rear passenger side of the sub frame are not tightening fully. Is there an easy way to resolve, such as tap the hole to a bigger size? Or does it need something more drastic than that?

cheers

I would first buy a new bolt, make sure its grade 10.9

 

Cheers rick,

A good call!! why didn't I think of that, DOH!!

Anyway, new bolts purchased from Audi. Fitted, and tightened up a treat.

However, I've still got the original problem which I thought this would cure. A knocking in the left front "corner" somewhere when I go over uneven road. I have replaced all suspension arms including TREs. I am now thinking shocks and corresponding rubber mounts.

Any ideas?
