Wow, there is a technical service bulletin on the front control arms?

Someone should get the word out.

 

It's been out for a few months now. SlimChriz posted a copy of the letter a while back I think. It's for the lower control arms. You can go to the dealer and get a free inspection done. This aplies to like 95-2000 A4's I think.

 

Free inspection meaning, the guy looks at your car, says "hey the wheels are still on" and send you on you way, or do they acutaly care?

 

Well it is a safety recall. I would hope to god that they cared. If you don't feel confortable, I guess you could take it for one of those free inspections at a independant shop. Ask specifically.

 

Is it a squeek, pop, or what, or do they just fall off?

 

Well usually when you go over a bump, you'll here a "clunk".

 

Then they probably wont just replace them will they, HA

 

Well they are obligated to replace them if there is play in the joint.

 

No luck in that for me then, Although I need to get the tierod ends done. Any suggestion.

 

Is this for all a4's or just for 1.8t or 2.8?
I have 00 A4 2.8, quattro. Because I have been having issues
