Default I like how you use a fake factory PN to define a control arm kit repair kit

that implies its for the B6 platorm (8E). Then when I go to run it your "part number search", it comes up empty handed! The only 8E platform parts in our control arms are the upper and wishbone links. Everything else is 4B, 4D, 8D, etc.

You could have at least provided a link to the kit instead of making us navigate your website.

Default 8d0-498-998 is the number on a meyle box I have here *this is a good Audi number*

But last I checked audi doesn't release that "kit" from the depot for whatever reason. So I can't order original equipment kits.

The number Don posted is not one you can order in this contry... it may exist elsewhere... I have not checked it out in etka just yet.

Default I'll give you credit for posting that on here. However, I'm taking it right back because

that is a kit of inferior quality, and the archives have countless posts to prove this.

Plus, "China // aftermarket brand" still doesn't tell us exactly who made them.

Default the 8E number might post date your etka.

or it might as you said be made up.

The 8D number I posted is recognized and in stock in this country just not going to be released without a fight.

Default I checked with 6.31 in the various 8E platforms (this is the euro spec version)

and came up empty handed. I'm just bothered he's pushing an inferior product using a factory part number no one seems to be able to confirm (at the moment anyway) or get.

If you say YOU can't get it, being the PN Overlord, then there's no way he could.
