I have a 2001 A6 2.7T with only 47,000 mi and the outertie rod ends have gone and need to be replaced this weekend. What brand do you recommend and why? I have also heard the S4 work on the A6, but are they any better?

Thanks
John

 

Okay man, here is the good news or the bad news. You can use RS parts but the tie rods on a6 and s4 are the same part. I bought the RS setup but unless you got some extra cash hanging around don't do it. It cost me about $700 in labor for tie-rods and control arms. RS parts are also almost impossible to find it. Good Luck.
