Default My mechanic won't install Defcons....

because of previous recall. What the hell? Guess they are concerened about 2nd party liablity. Guess, I'm back to getting a set of MK2 arms and doing the bushings myself. Anyone know of a place in Portland that will do a professional install and not get reemed for bushings, ball joints, strut tower bushing kit, alignment?

Default I could be wrong, but I believe you can get installation service with the Defcons...

That is if you have a spare set of control arms...

But again, it's Monday morning, so I could be hallucinating.

Default With DAT, you don't need a spare set of arms...

Default Is that an Audi dealership tech?

My local Audi dealership techs won't touch anything aftermarket, either. I tried to get them to put my Koni struts in, but they'd have noe of it. My advice is that you find a good indie shop that specializes in European or even German cars. Gotta be a few such places in Portland, no? If it was your indie that told you no, why'd you even tell him about the recall to begin with?

Default Matrix Integrated or Morgan Automotive...

Talk to Jeremy at Matrix Engineering
http://www.matrixintegrated.cc

Matrix does a lot of work for the Audi after market crowd here in Portland. They have worked on my car several times and did a good job.

Morgan Automotive
1737 Se Rhine St, Portland, OR 97202
Phone: (503) 231-6677

Morgan Automotive did the alignment when I dropped my car. I also have Mk1 control arms. Morgan had to modify (enlarge the adjustment slot)on the control arms to get my camber within spec.
