Peter,

There are comments interspersed among the posts in this thread on the Quattroworld forum for the UrS4/6 cars.  It is worthwhile to read them all I think, just to get a picture of others experience with these parts.  I have little faith in any of the aftermarket stuff, and really wonder if most of the parts on that English site don’t come from the same factory.  You will note that the Ukraine solution involved a lot of cutting/fabrication work and I am not sure a rubber bushing will hold up.  IME a lubrication fitting and some boots on the ends that don’t crack and allow the grease out is needed.  I am not sure the TRW arms are the genuine part, since no legit dealer sells them.  I still trust Lemførder
but buying from the English site gets too close to dealer price.
