audi 90q front sub frame

[Huw Powell]

That's a pity.

You can, at least, get new control arms with all three bushings 
installed for about $75 or so, and swap them onto the "new" subframe off 
the car.  I suspect then you'd have to re-use your "old" sway bar and 
links, but someone else will probably "know".

Basicly, it's hits in the front and the fender lip. It's due to the offset of the ball joint the CQ uses.BTDT.
