Front upper suspension arms , d3 s8
Would anyone have the correct code for the front driver's side front upper control arm ,the rubber is damaged on the track rod and and I'm going to replace it as part of the winter maintenance,i've checked through posts and parts diagrams on net and the different versions and codes appear to be a mine field ,I contacted ecp as they have lemforder and trw listed but chap I know in there says although it's listed for s8 it's actual for the a8 and they don't do the ones for the s8 ,or if you had the correct lemfordor or trw part no and were to purchase that would be even better .
Thanks

Part numbers are dependent on VIN number with the S8. Details of both sets of top arms (left and right) are as follows:
VIN up to 4E-4-012 700* Left front upper - 4E0407505E Left rear upper - 4E0407509E Right front upper - 4E0407506E * Right rear upper - 4E0407510E VIN past 4E-4-012 701* Left front upper - 4E0407505F Left rear upper - 4E0407509F Right front upper - 4E0407506F * Right rear upper - 4E0407510F NOTE: The one marked with '*' is the one you specifically asked about, but just provided a list of both sets.

Shouldn't it be number 13 as 14 is the upper 'rear' arm?

If required, part number for the bolt is N10576802 (M10x105x26) and costs about £4. The part number for the nut is N10272302 and costs about £2. If you plan on keeping the car, just replace them anyway.
