anyone purchess anything from these guys? I need new upper and lower control arms for the front right side. Thought this could be an option. I emailed them with this question but they haven't got back to me.

1) I have a 96 A4 quattro 2.8L which control there are 9 different choices for 96 ranging in price from 75-600 dollars. What one do I need?
2) If I do get control arms from them, should I get the left side as well?

 

ive used them a couple times already and the parts are fine, of quuality thus far and i have no complaints. they ship same day if you get your order in by 1 pst and they give the priority mail option which lends itself to satruday delivery.

i found them to have the best prices on control arms. i just bought a lower right front control arm yesterday from these guys and it shipped out today. buy some oil plug gaskets while youre at it.

 

well thats good to hear. However, im lost at which ones to get. Not the brand, its just the discription of the item is very poor.

 

alright, lets do this:

how do you know you need new ones? because you see bad ball joints, squeeks, etc?

you may be able to get away with replacing specific parts.

 

try this guy out

itd be a good idea to see if your ball joints are bad or if you have about 8 hours, you could do both sides. ill be back on periodically, ill help you as im doing the job right now

 

there are actually 4 control arms per side

 

I bought a bunch of engine parts from them lately and they are very reasonable on price. They did send the wrong head bolts but were quick to send me new ones. The new ones were wrong as well and the support guy was a moron. He argued with me on the phone over the engine my car has. "Oh, that's why we sent the wrong ones, you have the 1.8 with the turbo. Audi doesn't have a 1.8 with a turbo." Needless to say, I ordered the bolts from another vender.

the ball joints themseves are bad. I was told that I cant get just the joints for my audi. And I wish I had 8 hours to do it myself, but im not very mechanicly inclined. Id rather have a pro do it. He said get the parts and he'll do it. This way I dont get jacked up on price for him ordering them, or have to hasle him to get them. Could someone post a link to the exact ones I need from that site? I need an upper and lower, so I need all 4 for that front right side correct?

 

yep, 2 uppers and 2 lowers, plus the connection for the tie rod. you will likely need an alignment after as well.

so youll need 4 items

 

I use them for all of my OEM parts. I've had nothing but good things to say about them.
