Found out yesterday the lower ball bearings in my 99 a4 need to be replaced. The estimate was about 800 total including maintenance...I wan't to take care of this at home. How safe is it to drive with this issue? I am leaving from college and will be doing alot of highway driving, should it be ok?

 

i dont know alot...but my control arms are busted( failing really baad) and i think i can hear the ball joint slopping around...how "loose" does it feel?

 

not that bad, not really noticeable unless you brake slowly while going like 5mph...

 

it all depends on how bad they are??

 

i would say that would be fine then. just make sure to listen for any changes or if you feel anything diffrent to stop.
