Default What is the difference between part # 8eo407510c versus 8eo407510a?

They look identical to the naked eye yet one costs a little less. Anybody care to guess which one is which? Thanks for your help.

Default 8E0 407 510A is for cars w/o Quattro, 8E0 407 510C is for cars w/ Quattro. Therefore the S4 will use

8E0 407 510C.

Default 8E0407510C is for early S4s with aluminum uprights

The bushing is a different size/is solid

8E0407510A is for later S4s with steel uprights.

The bushing has been contested to be inferior as it has a hole and is smaller iirc?

Mike @ PureMS had a post about it a while back.

Default Thanks for reply. I am doing upper control arm replacement on a buddy's passat .....

and they have the A at the end. I just did my S4 when I changed the suspension on the S4 and they had C at the end. I just wanted to make sure. They look and feel identical. Thanks again.

Also heed what Hibiscus said; he may also be correct.
