Hi, I've had my 1998 A4 2.8 for almost 7 years now...

Recently I had the CV boots replaced.

Now, my steering is fairly loose and their is a lot of noise coming from the rear end. Its a loud vibrating type sound. Overall the car feels like its losing stability. I think the rear control arms may be rubbing the tires.

Any ideas??

I don't know too much about auto mechanics but I have general knowledge. Any help would be appreciated.

 

humm.. I have a alot of play in my steering. its cause i need tierod ends and control arm bushing. as far as yours. noise coming from the back... try checking the bushings. hope that helps or points you in the right area. im new to audi so im just learning how expensive these cars can be. but i love it.

 

Loose steering is probably from a bad tie rod or tie rod end. You should check those asap because it could cause a dangerous situation. the vibrating type sound is probably a wheel bearing. I had to replace one a little while back in the front.
