Arm Rest for y'all gangster lean
 
Evening fellow A8 fanatics, anyone know if you can adjust the arm rests to level them up as mine are a lil wonky. It's not terrible but I notice it. :rolleyes:

Is that a face lift model or earlier?

sump_slammer 26th May 2015 02:28 PM

yeah its a pre facelift model +++

To level them you just move them.

Do you mean they're loose/wobbly or won't stay in position?

If they are, then they're probably broken at the pivot point. One the PF A8s I owned had broken armrests. The FL armrests seem to be stronger. I believe a few people have successfully upgraded PF armrests to FL armrests. I would remove and disassemble them to see what's broken.

I'd concur, if its Preface, and not level, I'd suspect a bodged repair job in the past.

Although deviating from the original equipment goes against the grain for me, the facelift armrests are far more substantial, and have some capacious storage inside them too +++

Straight fit, as long as you get the facelift allen bolt to mount them on as its a different length to the preface one from memory +++

I did the swap, think I bought a bolt and may even have a spare as bought two!
