front control arms
Hi peeps just wanted some advice. My friend recently changed his a8L control arms etc and I told him to keep the originals. Now is it possible to just replace the bushes on the arms using a pressing machine or is it not worth it? If so whare can one buy just the bushes?
Thanks

You can get the bushes, but you would still have an old ball joint.

Cheers fella. The problem is my friend changed the complete fronts and cost him £1k just for parts from ECP lemforder parts. Was hoping by using old to refurbish would save few pennies

just wanted to resurrect this thread. Is there a difference between the control arms etc between sport A8l and a SE model?

Quote:
- There is an A8 (SWB) and an A8L (LWB) - Then there is an SE Spec with standard height suspension and a sport spec with lowered suspension and the air suspension module is different for each So for example my A8L is an SE model but you could also get an A8 SE or an A8L Sport
