Hmm, no Meyle ones on there. Anyone used 034 arms? Thanks though, Mav.

I'm sure the front lower arm on the rs6 is only fitted to the rs6 . It has a large washer on both sides of the bush to help spread the weight / force on the alloy subframe .

Yes, Meyle do an arm specific to the RS6 with the washers on either side, that's what I have.

Grizz any idea what the metallic clicking sound could be on full lock at parking speeds?

Cheers,

You need to buy this kit, and throw the front lower arms away:

Any then get these RS6 specific front lower arms with the washers on:

Thanks, Ceveman. Did they Meyle kit improve your handling? How do you know the eBay one is genuine?

Didn't notice any difference to be honest, I only did mine as a precautionary measure and to keep everything fresh, my originals werent totally shot.

All the kit comes in proper boxes with all the correct markings from Germany, I've no reason to think they were fakes.
