Default Etka request - D3 Front Suspension

Any have the picture they can post?

I need to confirm the part for the top two suspension arms for the front on a 2003 4.2 Quattro.

Thanks in advance

This is an extraction of the official EKTA.

Dont forget that Audi ones are made by either TRW or Lemförder so you can source them cheaper if needed (i ordered mine from mister auto who deliver from france if you are not in a hurry).

The top pinch bolt is likely to be seized, so be prepared for much hitting with hammer and drift if doing it yourself.

Thanks guys.

Kit bought with the four top suspension arms and all the required bolts and fixings etc.

I will get my local garage to fit, current ones are a little work and knock over poor road surfaces etc.

All changed and a lot better.

Had rattles and knocks from the front and "Squelching" also. Four arms and bolts were a little over £100 and the garage charged £110 to fit it all so really not that expensive a job to do.

98% better now, no knocks or rattles but still the odd occasional "Squelch" when cold.
