Ok so I think that my control arms are again going...

Is there different quality in control arms?
Im sick of changing every 6months...

Any link to online store would be nice as i coulnt find any. (Canadaian stores would be nice:P)


Thanks again.

 

If you changed all the control arms, they should last another 5 years. What makes you think that you need new control arms.

 

Wel I for sure that Ihave a few bushing that are squekking.

Also when Iaccelerate in 3rd or 4th my front left and rear rigth wheel vibrate.

And I also have rattle when I hit small bumbs.

 

For the front, check the tie rod ends.

 

Agree, rattle is usually tie rod ends. Could also cause your wheel to wobble. When you changed your front control arms, did you change them all or just the one(s) that were bad.

 

Is your steering loose at all?

If so, then definitely tie-rod ends. Jack it up and see if you can grab the tire on left and right side, and try to move it.

If there is play, its the tie-rod ends.

 

I would agree with most and say tie rods. Had the same problem (including wheel "woobling") and changed the whole set of control arms; that took care of squeaking, but was an idiot and didnt do tie rods. Turns out that was the main problem, although the old control arms were going for +100k so they were gonna be replaced anyway. Make sure u get everything new when you do the control arms like trod and sway bar links and don't get the cheap sets on ebay; people are counterfeiting everything these days and control arms are no exception. Order from a place you trust!

 

If your car pulls to the left AND right while driving, especially during a launch, your tie rods are most likely shot. Or if your car is difficult to get aligned properly, thats a good sign too. If it pulls to one side only your alignment is bad or tire pressure is off. If things just feel lose up front, clanky, squeeky, clunky its time for control arms. If you hear "BANG" whenever you go over a bump or pothole, your strut mount(s) are bad. These are just some front end problem tips.

 

I changed just the one thatVwere bad.

I am just too sick and was thinking I might aswell change everything next time.



So basically from what you guys say replace: Defective Contrll arms,Tie rods abd sway bars then I should enjoy riding my audi again ?

 

Buy them from ECS, they sell good stuff at good prices.

Meyle kit recommended for both TRE and Control arms.



Replace TRE on both sides. You can get full Meyle control arm kit with the TREs and hardware for $550. I don't know that the sway bar would be bad, but you could do the sway bar links while you are doing the control arms.
