So your saying they have built in bushings?? Thats garbage, another way for audi to make money on us. they should be push in bushing[:@]

ORIGINAL: Soley4pres

I have the same problem..been putting it off for about a year.. maybe its time I had whatever it is looked at and replaced..lol

I think its the upper control arms ..the bushings get worn and with audis we have to replace the whole arm

Dont do the whole kit though.. why spend the extra money when you dont have problems but only with one end? My .02 +1 from above

i have the same problem, but mine isnt when i run over something, its when im going up a hill or come out of a right turn and accelerating...
i replaced my axle cuz it was leaking, and that fixed the problem , until my dad put 87 gas in it one day, and it came back [:@]
