2002 S8 Suspension arms questions
 

hi all,
had an advisory after MOT that both sides front upper & lower arms had noted wear, though no excessive play--been scouting around and it seems if I want new rather than used they are only a dealer part? anyone shed more light please? i've had quote of approx 600/700 for parts and labour

thanks!

They are not a dealer only part. Bilstein and Mayle do replacements. I have just changed all 4 arms and the anti-roll bar 'c' link on my S8 and it has cost me less than £400.

It is a DIY,but not for the faint hearted. Check out GSF for the control arms. Also the sticky in this forum for a link to the Mayle catalogue.

thanks very much indeed for the info, conan, appreciate it, will update u, having new discs and pads fitted to the front today so the arms will have to wait a little longer!!
cheers
