I'm having the full set of arms replaced with Meyle HD ones. The car is at MRC having it done right now.

I got mine from here: www.carpartscentreuk.co.uk. All in stock, fast delivery. Perfect. £405.06 delivered. That was for all 8 HD Arms and 2 standard non HD stabiliser links. Give it a couple of days and I'll let you know how the cars feels/sounds. Hopefully the creaking will have gone!

Just to dig this old turnip up, I had everything I could renewed on the front suspension with Meyle/Meyle HD parts 7k miles ago. Beast got an advisory this month with play reported on front upper suspension arms and I had been noticing it recently too.

These failed after only 7k miles, not really sure what to make of that, but I don't have enough time in my life to chase warranties on car bits, they are in the Specialist's skip -

1160508292hd x1 – Meyle Left hand rear upper arm
1160508293hd x 1 – Meyle Right hand rear upper arm

Bent over for OE ones to be slapped on and she drove back far more nicely today.

FYI, the below is what I had fitted 7k ago/May 2015 -

1160508297hd x 1 – Meyle Track Control Arm/Left hand front upper arm
1160508298hd x 1 – Meyle Track Control Arm/Right hand front upper arm
116060007 x 1 – Meyle Left hand anti roll bar link
116060008 x 1 – Meyle Right hand anti roll bar link
1160508292hd x 1 – Meyle Left hand rear upper arm
1160508293hd x 1 – Meyle Right hand rear upper arm
1160500058hd x 2 – Meyle Front bottom arm (RS6 only)non handed
1160508299hd x 1 – Meyle Left hand rear bottom arm
1160508300hd x 1 – Meyle Right hand rear bottom arm

I couldn't tell you dude, sorry. I just got out of there and back to work asap.I didn't ask to keep the arms as I have too many other things going on to mess about moaning at Meyle, pick your fights and all that.

Do you want me to call them tomorrow and see if they know?
