Default Control Arms

Did Audi ever remedy the ongoing problem with the deficient control arm design or is that something that still exists in new or recent model cars? Quite frankly, that is the only reason I don't currently drive an Audi/VW product.

Thanks

That doesn't seem to be an issue on B6s

Agreed, don't even think I've read any posts this board about that issue.

there was a recall on the B5 model for the control arm. Nothing like that on the B6

I've had to replace one of the lower front arms on my 2002 B6 (warranty at 49K) and I've replaced all 8 arms on my 1999 Passat (twice!) I found if two or three are bad you might as well just do the whole set. You can really feel the difference when you get all replaced. The front end feels nice and tight again.
