I have tried that route with no joy. Before the S6 i had an ALPINA B3.2 Touring 117000 miles and in all that time it only ever needed was servicing/two rear shockers and front suspension top mounts.

Not ball joints..........a lot more expensive. The bushes on the brackets for the steering rack and Audi dont sell the bushes. YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW RACK....At a cost of between £700-£1000 + vat

Can anyone put me in the right direction, 1. When i engage gear in my S6 V8 i get a knocking sort of noise. This only happens when the car is warm and i am in gear and stationary. If i take it out of gear and in neutral or park the noise goes. Is it some kind of pump in the gearbox or something else...

Ball joints, DOH.

When i brake or turn the steering from lock to lock when moving i get a clonk/knocking noise. It's not a clicking like CV joints. Any ideas

I'm after a set of 19"s for my S6 Avant 2000my V8.
