Re: A4 Squeak

["Jouko Haapanen" <joukoh@vtoy.fi>]

1.	Control arm bushing gone - need new control arm (common on early A4)
2.	Anti-roll bar bushing squeaks, new bushing P/N for very early cars
(95??)

I'd bet on 1, since 2 only occurred on about the first couple of months of
A4 production as far as I recall, back in 1995 model year.  2 is something
that affected cars still in your vintage - at least here in Finland the
dealer/Audi will cover some of the costs if the warranty is expired AND the
car has been serviced @ Audi certified service centre(s).
