Default Has anyone had a sqeaky front end?????

My A6 2.7t Quattro seems to have developed a loud sqeak on the front right wheel area......I think it's a bushing??????

Has anyone experieced this and had it diagnosed? Fixed?? Would like to know about it before approaching my audi dealer so I can have a better understanding of it.

If you have had similar symptoms please post up!

when does the squeak occur? most likely it's your control arms..

it happens during turning, braking and sometimes I can make it sqeak when I rock the car. It is definitely coming from the passenger front wheel too.

Control arm???? Would it be that bushing and can the bushing be replaced or do you have to replace the entire control arm assembly?
