Default Thanks Jason! I'll only take one, after looking at your install pic I recall...
...I mangled the bracket mount on one of the bellows so there's no ball there left to attach the arm to. It crumbled apart between my fingers when I was attempting to sew up the fishing line. Pathetic! Very brittle.

I'll pay pal you in a moment - hugely appreciated.

And yes, VERY common failure marque-wide. All the new cars use the same part and I've seen numerous failures on A4s, A6s, etc. Typical frickin' Audi, and they turn their back and snub their nose at their blatant ineptitude. Ridiculous.
