    19 years old car with original arms and everything - First time i was trying to get the pinch bolt out more than month, then i cut the upper arms and after trying to get out lower arms cut even them, it was not easy to drill the bolt out so everything was a bit destroyed, so i bought everything new even the knuckle. Everything was great and new after a lot of work. After 600km one of upper arm ball joints failed and here i am again

    Good job but the control arm bush bolts are supposed to be properly tightened when it’s got full load

    Hello ✋🏻, i need your advise please. My ride is Audi A4 2006 2.0L ... I had a complete set of control arms replaced today (total 10pcs), and being aligned afterwards, but unfortunately i experienced a very stiff steering wheel. Any clue ?

      On my car I replaced my rack and my power steering boost assist sensor was brittle and broke off, I forget what it’s called but it’s likely expensive or hard to find other than on a new rack
