Squeaking Noise - Tie Rods or Control Arms

[dgraber460 at aol.com]

Putting your hands on the tie rod ends while someone else turns the steering (careful not to get arms and fingers in harms way) usually will give tell-tale vibration from the offending joint.

 Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I was over at my friends house last 
ight and when he heard the noise he immediately said, "Oh sounds like a strut 
earing".
 
 Anyway, that's the plan for this weekend.  Open it up and replace the strut 
earing.
 
 I'll update when done.
 
 Thanks all!

The A6 doesn't have a strut bearing -- it doesn't have a "strut" as
he front suspension isn't a MacPherson strut design.  The top of the
hock absorber isn't an axis of steering rotation.  Suspension creaks
n Audi's 4-link virtual-geometry suspension cars are usually due to
orn tie rod ends, control arm arm bushings, or sway bar bushings.
