I would first make sure that after the tires are taken off, they are put back 
on so that they are all torqued down to the proper proper torque... (I think 
80 ft-lbs is reccommended but it seems too light to me... I usually torque 
them down to 90 ft-lbs).
Also ensure that the parts are genuine OEM... (not OEM parts for Audi's made 
by an American company)...
