So i've been taking my 2000 a6 apart, and i need a few things that i've been having a heck of a time finding. For one, i need a new upper control arm pinch bolt. It looked more like a jack screw type bolt when i pulled it out. All the threads were flattened out. I also need a new set of inner cv shaft bolts because whatever idiot shop that worked on it before i bought it used an impact wrench on the damn things and messed up the heads. That's really all that i think i need right now, i just can't find any place to buy this stuff!
thanks,
mike

 

I would go to hardware store. Those should be regular 8.8 metric bolts... I'm sure you can find them in there. (regular thread)

 

The dealer will have the bolt for the upper control arms. most auto stores should have the bolts for the cv joints.

 

cool, i guess i never thought of going to either of those places. thanks guys.
