[s-cars] New Lower Control Arm Casualty of 2003 Winter!

[Angelo Alexopoulos]

Hi all,
I had the new suspension put in towards the end of October 2002 and
everything was cool until the end of last month or so and it got worse
yesterday. I felt and heard a weird clunk or it could be a crunch, sound
coming from the front left side of the car at the wheel. At first I thought
it was the mud flap because it had gotten loose during that MUTHA of a
Blizzard we had a month or so ago. But it was not it.

So I brought the car down to my local Audi guy and he put it on the lift.
Sure enough the left front lower control arm had play in it whereas the
right was just fine. I am bringing it in tomorrow and he is getting a new
one and putting it in FOC but my question is had anyone else had this happen
before? Or is it just the lousy streets we have here in good ole CT wreaking
havoc on us?
