Hi everyone

I am changing the front control arms on my RS6 C7 (2016). Have had a quote from Audi for the parts. I have heard that Lemforder make the control arms for these cars, and buying the Lemforder parts is working out about 50% cheaper. Can anyone confirm that Lemforder are the OEM parts? Do I have anything to bare in mind if I'm buying these rather than buying through audi?
Alternatively are there any better aftermarket control arms available? Specifically I am changing both lower arms the Banana arm, and the lower straight.

Thanks in advance

Did you get any further determining who is the OEM supplier of the control arms? I have 24k miles on my 2014 RS6 and have been advised that some of the bushes are starting to show signs of cracking. Changing them out seems straightforward enough (have done on wife’s Q5) so keen to save some money if alternative parts of equal quality are available.

Lemforder, Meyle and Febi are all good qaulity parts.

My specialist who I went to, ordered in lemforder control arms, however he said that they were not the same size as the RS6 ones and only compatible with the A6. So he returned them and he bought OEM ones from audi.

This is what I was told but again, someone out there may have a different answer to this
