Control Arm?
Well I am pretty sure I know what my problem is, but I would be much appreciative if someone could help me narrow it down a bit.
Here are the specs on my car:
-1999 Audi A4 Quattro B5
-1.8T Engine
-AEB
-New tires
I have recently replaced the front brake pads and rotors because of a sound that has been coming from the front right of my car that sounds like a "shimmying", or clunking that I have in the past attributed to warped rotors, when I come to a stop, but it is also occurring at speeds of between 45 - 65mph.
In my estimations, this is a control arm, but I am curious if anyone has had any experience with this before and can direct me towards a specific control arm (upper, lower, etc), or ways to check which one it is, rather than shelling out a few hundred bucks to fix them all.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Control arms will clunk if you go over a bump or something. As of which one? hard to say get in there with a flashlight and pry bar to see how much play is in each one, better off to replace em all rather than just one, the kit off of ebay is known to be alright.
Inspect your inner and outer CV joints too. Similar clunking in my car lately has turned out to be a CV. I haven't gone under to see which it is but I have the telltale axle grease visible so at least one joint is shot.
