Is it the bolt or the actual bracket that holds it. do you have pics? if it is just a bolt call up Audi they shouldn't be that expnsive and slide it into place. if not let us know what we need to do.

you may be able to chase a dye down the threads of the shank if not the strut will have to be replaced sorry.
i have only seen that happen when some one does not tighting the strut all the way down,did yours come pre *** or did you guys put them together? if they came preass see if they will cover it under warr

looking at the pics again the pass side is loose as well some left them loose either fact or you guys ,get a new nut from a bolt store with a teflon coating and a chaser dye and you should be ok.
mark if you need help i am just a phone call away. dont take that to a shop unless you just dont want to deal with it.
