Default Beginning to wonder about my car...

You know I love my car, I really do, but this could be it.

The "Airbag" light flashed at me twice this morning. Great. Just what I need.

This afternoon, going over a speed bump at low speed... "groooaaan". Perfect.

Not sure what the deal is with the airbag, but we all know what that groan means.

I assume you have put the 303 protectant on all your door seals. I read something about that solving the creaks you get going over speed bumps.

Default You know... I forgot about that recall.

I'll have to check to see if my car was done prior to my purchase. Thanks for that reminder!<ul><li><a href="http://steve-hall.com/audi-tsb/circ/KWCirUS.pdf">KW recall notice (pdf)</a></li></ul>

Default control arms

Generally indicates a control arm bushing issue. Due to the design of the control arms and integral bushings, it's easier to swap out the control arms than replace the bushings; not a cheap repair, per se.
