A6 Front Suspension noise

[Brian O'Neill]

there is a recall that most dont know about. it
includes all of the aliuminum control arms, including
tre tie rod ends and sway bar links. your dealer may
or may not agree to pay for all of it, if you complain
enough they will pay for most of it, but im guessing
from your comment on dealers, you dont go there very
often, if you are a regular, they usually replace all
the them for free. dont know if your miles will count
against you or not !!!
