With regards to the steering tug this is more than likely just down to the width of the tyres on these cars. Wider tyres do tend to cause tramlining more than thinner.
Clonking would normally be something worn. Best to get it off the ground and have a good ole tug about. I bet a garage wouldn't charge too much to do it for you. Perhaps even beer tokens.
My last car, celica wrc, had multilink suspension and was a nightmare for that. Replacing the whole setup on there, which are heavy steel items too, costs over a grand. Good ole Audi...at least replacement on these cars is quite reasonable.
I'm going to be replacing all my arms shortly as Audi have replaced a couple of the top arms in the recent past so the rest can't be far behind.
I'm going to take a good ole look at the old arms once off as I've always done poly conversions on my old cars and that really firms things up nicely. Ill also look at the ball joints and if there is a method to replace them as an el-cheapo set off ebay converted to poly with better ball joints would make some rather nice arms.
