oh and a big thanks to Audi for letting me find out about the JE recall on audiworld instead of mailing a fvckin letter out. douchebags

Laundry List:

-Upper Control Arms (both sides)

-Outer Tie Rod Ends (passenger side is fvcked but ill replace both)

-ABS wheel speed sensor is smashed? wtf? (front left)

-rear brakes gonna be grinding the backing plate soon (both sides, gonna do C5 upgrade)

why does my car always have to eat sh*t in the summer?

Default Shouldn't the ABS sensor be throwing a code if it was smashed?

I'd swear one time mine was unplugged and threw a code...

Sucks though.

Default Well, other than those issues I didn't see anything else wrong with it

You'll get through it, and the car will be nice again. I do have to say its the cleanest white A4 I have ever worked on that wasn't new.
