when i apply the brakes on my 01 a6 2.7 at slow speeds. i get this clunking sound or more like a thump from the left front wheel.
does this sound like control arm wear ? it clunks when i hit drive ways and speed bumps. i just bought this car and its in good shape and this is the only thing i seem to notice. my a4 had bad control arms so i kinda know what im in for. just curious i wana fix this problem before it gets worse thanks.


also i didnt get a owners manual with this car. what is the oil capacity for the 2.7t ?

 

Sounds like control arms or sway bar links. 6.8 quarts.

 

i had this problem on my lexus, the bushings had gone bad. good luck on the fix

 

yea i checked it out it looks to be easy fix. front left lower control arm

 

As for the Owners Manual, (if you haven't done so) check directly under the steering wheel. Thats where I found mine. The dealership I bought mine from thought they didnt have em. But I read a post on this site and looked and there it was. Almost bought a new one for fifty bucks. Hope you find yours there also.

 

its funny u say that cause today. i was cleaning my car and found it under the streering wheel in that slot still has the window sticker folded up in there to.
