other than the gas tank sending units, the control arms are " the " problem=

more than likely the boomerang shaped arm, tehy are trickey to figure out. =
if your handy and so not want to pay 500 bucks to replace em, you can remov=
er the boot and grease em yourself, but plan on spending some quality time =
with your car. do not poke holes in em and grease em that way, water will e=

Hi Audi Fans,

2000 A6 2.7T
Squeak & Creak at low speeds in front-end suspension at 48k miles.
Diagnosed/Replaced/Resolved problem: Lower Control Arms (Straight Arm).
Is this a common problem? Are the Control Arm boots sealed? or do they
take grease ?

Regards,
Ralph
