diference in spindles
 

hi there, i have a bent spindle on my a6 its the front passenger side, the car is a 2000 2.7t triptonic quattro, i was wondering if i can install a spindle from any a6 of that year ??, and i even heard that some suspension parts of the passat are similar to those on the a6. is this true??, i just want to know my options because its dificult to get that part from a car identical to mine, and that would realy open my orizon..

thanks
