Default Suspension is messed up....

Alright I know the suspension is screwed for sure. On bumps, the left wheel well squeeks and now when I took a turn, I heard a clicking noise coming from the wheel well too. Control arms, tie rods? How much is this gonna run me and are there aftermarket parts that will last longer? Thanks.

P.S. - My car drives very sluggish and when I pull the wheel hard to one side, the reaction is slightly delayed. Thing drives like a tank.

Slow response is probably tie-rods ends, and sqeaking most likely control arms...

Im not sure on the cost but complete kits range about 5-600$

is its a quattro..? couldnt tell form the picture because if it is you are screwed out of your misery. I live in Detroit an dthe roads here suck a$$. So i gave up on the alignment situation. I think the Quattro has a rediculous amount of control arms and tie rods on it... Just take it to an audi dealer and see what they say and then you can decide on what you want to do about the repairs....hope this helps

Clicking on turns sounds like a CV joint.

Squeeks are bushings in the control arms.
