Default Can someone please identify each component in this pic.

Are there any necessary components not shown here that should be replaced? If any what are they?

Thank you.

Default That's pretty much everything except the CV joint boots!

From top to bottom:

Upper control arms foward and aft
Outer tie rod ends
Lower control arms, curved and straight
Sway bar to lower control arm link

That's everything in the front end that could wear....very smart to replace it all at the same time, the car will be like new.....you might even consider changing out the outer tie rod end boots at the same time, if they haven't ripped yet, they will.

Default Where did you get the kit, and how much?

Just did front brakes on the A6, and one of the outer tie rods is ripped. Thinking about doing the same.

Default A few threads ago I posted a link for this on German ebay.

I am going to order this set soon. If you still have questions or want to get in on this after you read the old posts let me know or contact this guy via email. His address is in one of those posts too.
