Complete sway bar link: 4H0411317A
FCP Euro: Sway Bar Link


Non-sport Suspension - Bushing: 4D0411327H
FCP Euro: Sway Bar Bushing Non-Sport

Sport Suspension - Bushing: 8K0411327B
FCP Euro: Sway Bar Bushing Sport

My recommendation is to buy the sway bar links and replace the old units. Instead of replacing just the bushings, but I also would have my mechanic do this job, so I'll make it as straightforward as possible for him since he lets me bring my own parts.

Good luck.

Yes!!!!! It's very annoying. And it's only on the LH side.

Mine has been doing it for a coupe of years now.

Yes. It does seem to quiet down after driving for a while, but damn, I'm tired of hearing it.

In the winter months, it never goes away.

Thanks for the part numbers, I'm having mine addressed next week.

If someone gets this completed, please advise if it fixes the issue and how much it costs. The parts look super cheap...but did a quick google search how to replace and doesn't seem too straightforward........or that hard.
Be interested to see how much mechanics etc charge, dread to think of the Audi dealership.
