Default need front end part suggestions

ok so, i just got back from trying to get the A4 Aligned and they gave me a little shopping list instead.

- all 4 upper ball joints
- 2 outer tie rods
- Front drivers lower/back ball joint

do you guys have any suggestions where i could get these parts the cheapest online or any other ideas about buying all these parts without burning to big of a whole in my pocket?

thanks in advance

(ASSUMING YOUR A4 IS A B5)
PERFORMANCECAFE.COM HAS SOME CRAZY KITS!!!

MAYBE ITS MORE THEN WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR BUT FOR THAT PRICE YOUR GETTING A LOT AND WHILE YOUR IN THERE REPLACE WHAT YOU CAN, IN MY OPINION...

sounds like you need to replace the control arms. i got my kit from fcpgroton.com its definately more than your list but if those were shot then the rest are on their way out the door.

I think audizine members get deals from FCP.. Search FCP Groton group buy on audizine.com and see what you can find.
