hmm, I'm a little confused on the part number.
MCPaudiTT is using 8N0 407 365A and 8N0 407 365B which he acquired from 1stvwparts.com, but when I check with them, all they show is 8N0 407 365C which seems to be for both left and right. When I check a local Canadian site (autopartsonlinecanada.com) they show one part for both left and right made by TRW, but they don't quote the Audi part number although it looks exactly the same as the one sold by 1stvwparts.com. So I'm confused lol. Is the "C" part sold by 1stvw a new replacement part that fits both sides? Is the TRW part (L2020-126902) the same thing?

What are characteristics of the ball joints going out? I have a clunking noise and replaced:
front bushings and bearings, and passenger side sway bar end link.
im wondering what else i could look at?
maybe this part or a wheel bearing ect?
it seems that i have an all metal swaybar i took the bushing off the other day and didn't feel any plastic at all.

No prob... I replaced mine cause I streched the studs on the ball joints
My torque wrench was broken and I didn't know it. I saved the ball joints cause I wanted to show everyone how stretched they were, it was nuts
