Is OEM front suspension available as a kit?
Hello community,
Soon I'm going to replace front suspension on my D2 when it'll pass the 100,000 miles mark. Will change all arms, bolts, shocks and springs for OEM ones. Can I buy OEM front suspension as a kit from TPS or from Audi? I have seen kits with all required arms and bolts from other supplies like Meyle. Can I buy similar kits from Audi or TPS or should I order all individual items one by one? Cheers.

I don't think they will supply a kit.
Just list and supply all the individual parts. You will possibly pay over the odds for standard arms from Audi/TPS, I think they are TWR or Lemforder. Personally I would go for MeyleHD kit. That will list everything you need to replace all front arms and bolts. Its about £400-£500 for a kit I think.

Hi Sergey
As Scott says, no kit from TPS/Audi - individual arms only and they really do like to charge for it! The Meyle HD arms have ever so slightly more NVH when new, but my replacement top arms soon settled down and are as quiet as you would expect. The HD kits have meatier balljoints than the OEM parts, which I would see as an improvement on the original design. Kit should be available for your model - Meyle do all the arms except the lower ones required for factory 20s. A

I changed brakes and I noticed that the rubber bushes on upper arms started to disintegrate a little bit. No problem for MOT yet, but I will change suspension before about April time. Because I will change all arms it'll be a good idea to change shocks and springs too just to forget about front suspension for another 100.000 miles.
All kits are good no doubt. Is there a consensus which is the best one? Maybe claims their HD stuff is better than OEM. This is serious claim. Is that true?
