Default Booh, bad control arm. Options?

Diagnosis: Bad control arm.

Alternative? I have searched through the forums and see people have found non audi control arms. My mechanic suggested against it, does he have anything to his suggestion?

Default I've got a 2 week old front lower for sale...Audi OEM

Changed one then the another one went so I decided to go with the whole ECS kit and replace them all. The one I am selling is the first one I replaced which was purchased new from AUDI OEM. Its practically brand new...not even dirty.

Email if you are interested.

Default ECS kit?

No warranty. I think its the upper control arm, but I will double check Jay^Jay and email you if interested. What does an ECS kit give and is it more expensive or cheaper than replaceing OEM?

Default Re: ECS kit?

It gives you all 8 control arms. There are four on each side in the front. And yes it is a lot cheeper if you buy the whole kit.

I did all mine because I have a 97 with 150000 km on it and they were all going to go sonn now.
