Default Shopping list for 2001 S8 Part II

Me again,

As a follow-on to my recent post begging for help with service items & part numbers in the engine forum I also need to find out what part numbers relate to the following items if some kind soul might be able to help please?


Nearside CV boot replacement kit (inc. grease, clips etc.)

ISTR seeing a kit part number rather than individual part numbers?


Despite a full 4WD alignment carried out by a reputable independent both front tyres went down to the steel on the inside while there was almost a full tread on the rest of the tyres...heartbreaking.

I did put on another pair of 255/35/ZR20 Michelin Pilot Sports but these have now worn out again - although not as bad as the last ones on the inside.

When I took the car back to the Independent Specialist to have the alignment checked/adjusted they told me I needed new control arms as when they went to adjust them something was just spinning around preventing any adjustment from being done.

They also told me to see if I could order the later aluminium type(!) as they would be better than the original ones with rubber insert...they were not sure whether these were available for the S8 but said they were available for the S4, RS4, S6, RS6 etc if my memory serves me correctly?

Any info and once again part numbers for the above items would be very much appreciated.

Thanks & kind regards,
