If you do the arms yourself, get the proper instructions from ELSAWIN software and check the heights of the arms when you tighten the bolts, they should be way up in the wheel arch and then you have to wrestle to insert them into the hub carrier. Many garages just tighten the nuts with the suspension on full droop, so the bushes are all twisted up when at normal driving height. |
Hmmmm...OK, so more likely not a steering rack?
How does the TRW compares to Audi part?? I know that some aftermarket one can last not even a year, TRW rings the bell as a high quality replacement??
To repeat my question, would this cracked rubber cause sooooomuch noise when it's warm/hot???
Am I write that two upper arms needs changing (one on each side)
them two

Thats the one??
