Default Upper Control Arm u/s

I experienced some brake judder a few months back after brake pads were replaced. It was put down to discs and so these were changed too. Well, it wasnt gone completely and on the way to the A8Parts meet 2 weeks ago it was very noticeable. (I've done little motorway driving in teh last few months.) Mike (CtL) was kind enough to check the suspension over on the lift at PMS and there was nothing obviously wrong. After checking it in to the local independent and some investigation its appear that the problem may by the nearside upper control arms and n/s track rod end.

So, what recommends for replacement - Audi OEM /Europarts etc - and should both sides be done at the same time? I need to order parts in the morning so any advice is welcome.

By the way Jim, is this covered under the 5 year /100k warranty you gave me?
