Default Can you identify this part? (Important, $$$$ at stake)

Under warranty, dealer replaced both "sway bar link rods." Parts #'s:

8DO-411-317-D Link
8DO-411-318-D Link

Could these possibly be control arms (which are also called "links")? If they are, it will bolster my case that current big control arm problems should be covered by Audi out of warranty. If not, what the heck are they? Apologies for my ignorance of the terminology...

Thanks for any info.
