Hey,

My rs4 is starting to feel a bit loose handling wise.There's a bit of a knock coming from the front when going over speed bumps,the car feels like its getting pulled left and right on certain surfaces and just generally not as taught as it was when i bought it 6 or so months ago.the car has done 67K so im thinking there maybe a few bushes due for replacement.anyone had any similar issues?

cheers

Replaced all my front arms about a month ago, well worth it like a new car again...

Iv just changed my lower front rear arm and the front top and and rear top arm on both sides and the car is amazing wow!!! Well worth doing it, if u want some part numbers let us know

Also worth checking the steering rack bolt under the secondary ecu.
Same symptoms (knocking, but vague)

had all my bushes replaced in November and made a hell of a difference to the feel of the car.

Is this a relatively simple job or best left to the experts?

Hi Zed
Good service by Lemforder - German precision timing.
So glad they landed with you before Xmas to get you back on the road.

Think Zed said he changed his without removing the suspension leg

Hi mike/Roy

They are easy enough to replace the only thing you have to ensure is getting a good alignment after, I used AMD technik in Essex to do the work and they used the hunter alignment system which is amazing, the car feels so tight after the change!! as for the parts I have to thank ROY who ordered the parts for me from Germany which are the lemforder ones OEM without the Audi rings on it, they are quality parts!!! All together including the fittings and the alignment it cost me near enough £500, £220 for the top arms £130 for the lower arms which are Audi ones that I picked up on ebay from parts depot and around the £250 mark for the work carried out by AMD technik and a few other bits done aswell.

Speak to BEN at AMD who will guide you through the in's and outs

Once again thanks ROY much appreciated for your help

How much is it for the new arms? I'd be up for a group buy on these....

I'd be up for a group buy on a complete kit of arms and bolts needed too don't fell I need them yet but would buy for. When I do.

I will double check later,think it going to come to just under £400 for the lot

I still can't believe that this topic with it's title the way it is has gone on for so long without any sniggering

Lads check on ebay genuine Audi lower front rear arms are going for £60 and the top arms are £200 from lemforder,

Can you link to them as im buggered if i can find on ebay.

Thanks
