This post rang a bell for me.  The fellow that I purchased my 91 TQA
from bought a 97 A8 w/ 63k on it.  At about 70k, the front control arms
went.  This was diagnosed by the local dealer and confirmed by Al Miller
at Redline Engineering, whom some of you are familiar with.  This seems
to be a problem that is emerging among the "new Audi" owners that I,
with a case of "arrested Audi development" beyond 1991, was not aware
of.  Anyone else (1) know of this as a problem, and/ or (2) know of any
recall or proposed remedy in the works?  Thanks.  Tom
