Hi, I know that I have to replace the control arm(s) on my 96 A4 2.8Q. My wuestion is: which arm(s) do I have to replace? and how much they cost?
[It is really bother me when I drive on the bumper, or out of parking lot].

Thank you.

I've had both lower control arms replaced as well as one (right) upper control arm.

The symptoms were different. For the lower, it was squeaking/creaking sound when going over bumps. For the upper, it was a loose, rattling sound when going over rough uneven pavement.

We can't tell you what needs replacement over the internet. The best thing to do would be to describe your symptoms to a tech and have them determine what needs replacement.

I don't know about cost, since mine was covered under warranty.

Good luck,

plus 3-6 hours of labor for install

A Quattro also has 2 control arms on each side rear. You could end up paying about $4,000 to $5,000 to replace all of them.
