Best place to get suspension arms
My S8 has started to develop an annoying creak from the front right, and having had a look at the bushes there seems to be a bit of movement in the rear bottom offside arm; so im planning to just replace the whole lot and get it all over and done with.
My question to you is, which arms are the best to go for? and from where? Im after a front end 'kit'. |
In no particular order:
Audi original - Expensive but come with a 2 year guarantee. Mayle - http://www.meyle.com/EN/Automotive-spare-parts.html - they do a HD kit. Botang has this kit I believe (comes with all nuts and bolts). Bilstien – I have a full front end from them. Dog’s dangles so far (23k). Other – You get what you pay for (and sometimes you don’t)! |
Everyone rated meyle when I had my a4, so it looks like it's between meyle and bilstein.
I have had a look about, but can't see anyone selling them? Thanks for the advice. |
I bought mine from Fleabay full set of 8. But i'm so tight i squeak, i didn't want to spend too much because i wasn't sure how long the car would last.
What ever you do, do buy bolts the lower rear get cut (unless you wanna drop the subframe) and the pinch bolt nuts are oval so they fu, rip the thread up. Only found out because i had to have one of those MOT things and he was going to fail it on play from top arm, he tightened up the pinch bolt and said "keep an eye on that one" When the NS top rear arm popped out while manovering a car trailer around i decided it was time to replace bolts and nuts, the arms are there for a reason it appears. Main dealer parts just over a fiver i think for both sides. |
Sorted...sorry for the extra post
