A4 problems

[Jon Linkov]

Control arm bushings. That's the likely culprit. I have had them replaced
twice by Audi on my 1996 A4. Apparently there is an updated "kit" with
superior bushings. I have been told the fix is a whole new set of control
arms; not sure if you can just replace the bushings themselves.

Editorial - perhaps daughter should help with the repairs, to limit them in
the future? ;-)
