Hey guys! Just bought a 1999.5 A4... got it for a good deal, but there were a few things wrong with it. One such problem is there is a plastic arm (with a ball joint at one end) that is broken on the rear driver's side. Does anyone know what this is and where I can get it? Thanks for all the help!

 

That's the sway bar end link - they come in plastic on these cars. I believe it's www.ecstuning.com that sells steel ones. If yours is broken, replace both (or all, as the fronts are also plastic) with the metal ones and be done with it.

 

the front stock sway bar links are metal. i think i bought my rear metal ones from ECS, no problems here.

 

if you goto the dealer to get a replacement, they are all metal now. 35 bucks i think is what i paid for mine.

 

Pretty sure just the rears are plastic. The fronts on my 97 and 2000 are metal.

 

Thanks for all the help guys! Parts are on their way and soon the a4 will be on the road again!
