Default FYI. the upper control arms and TRE's are S4 specific. The kits only have A4/A6 CA's in them. The

bushings on the S4 CA's are stiffer.

I had to get them from Audi (genuineaudiparts.com) Even though they were more expensive, I could see/feel the difference. The bushing on the Audi part is smaller (the collar is bigger) than the A4/A6 part.

Not sure how much for an S4, but Raxles quoted me $175 per axle for my A6.
