It's' all in the bushes? Hope so!
Hi, I think the resource is in here somewhere but I've not found it, so my apologies if I'm repeating but I'm at my wits end.
I have a 2001 S8 which I love, but I've been chasing a slight wobble on braking that's driving me crazy - feels like it's on the back end? All Wheels balanced and aligned All New tyres New discs, pads hoses and calipers refurbed. 4 wheel alignment done. I've been told that it could be lower arm bushes, but they are NLA for my D2. Rumour is that there's an A6 that fits/ Or preferably, I'll get them all replaced. If one is gone, the other can't be far behind? Or any other suggestions? would this work? Anyone tried them? https://www.strongflex.eu/en/a8-d2-f..._diameter-18mm any help would be so gratefully received - as it's my daily driver. |

Firstly, welcome. If you're planning on staying around, pop along to the Introductions section and introduce yourself. It's also worth updating your profile so that we know where you're located, and add the car details to your signature line.
As for your issues, here's one suggestion I've seen mentioned before, especially since you had the callipers refurbished. The stainless steel pad guides are a tight fit, and depending on the refurb job, they might be sticking. There's probably a lot more options, but at least you're searching in the right section of the forum. Remember to keep us updated if you resolve the issue.

Thanks for this. Will fill in the intro stuff just now.
No - New spring clips fitted and ground down the edges of the pads so they don't stick. |

Are we talking about the front or rear suspension?
