my load control arms need to be replaced....what will happen if l don't replace them... i dont want to replace them....cost to much

 

Are you talking about the upper or lower control arms? Never heard them called "load control arms". Get them fixed you don't want them to fail.

 

upper and lower....what will happen if they fail

 

if the ball joint in them fails and comes seperated from any one of the control arms=your audi wrecked on the side of the road and a really pist of you! Replace your control arms, http://www.blauparts.com has a good deal on the kits right now.

 

Bad things will happen. Think a guy here or on Audiworld had one fail and his wheel ripped off and did extensive damage.

hahaaha, i remember reading about this.

get ur car to the dealer you may be able to have them replaced for free. lower control arms were a recall item on earlier model a4s

 

Hey everyone,

How much mileage can you get with new control arms (upper and lower)? Or it's an unsteady thing and can be anytime?

Thanks

 

Yep you can't really predict it. Usually they start to fail around 70k miles though?

 

Then how do you check them? Can you diagnose them properly or do you only tell by the noise when you steer?
