I had a problem over winter that involved my front tires chunking. We replaced esentially all the A-arms and control arms because they were bent.

That seems to have stopped any chunking of my replacement tires.

However, whenever I turn corners, I get this swaying motion from left to right, like the car is in 4wheel drive and not all-wheel drive.

I have wheels on the car from my old 200 20v that have deep backspacing to make up for the UFO brakes from the 200.

I'm wondering if the wheels are causing the issue. Or, if the swaying motion is caused from something in the driveline that isn't compinsating for the all-wheel drive.

Anyone have any thoughts/experiences with something like this?
I appreciate any input, thanks!

But if your wheels are that much different from stock, I'd lean towards that. Have you tried to put stock rims back on?

I;d start there! Offset changes should be minimized. 5mm optimal. 10mm max, IMNSHO.

You could also check if EDL is nto releasing.

How did you bend control arms? What else might be bent?

A6 is ET45. So the UFO 200 wheels have less dish than A6 wheels. The centerline of your tires is 10mm further outboard on each side than stock. That could affect your alignment and tire wear. Might cause tramlining as well, i.e. car darts from side to side on a crowned or rutted road.

I've made that change many a time to run 16" snows, e.g.: on a B5 S4.

Theoretically, yes. practically, the effect should nto be dramatic.

it should not change camber one bit. Angle remains the same, except to the degree that the [effective, leverage adjusted] spring rate is reduced, btu we're getting pretty **** here I thing you'll agree......

But your point is right on! More (less numerically) offset means a larger lever arm and scrub radius ont he mounting point and steering virtual center.
