Default New source of control arm clunking on my car

Looking at it today, found that my control arms all look good. But the steering assembly where the tie rod goes into (passenger side) is about to come off as one of the bolts is missing and the second and last one is about to come off. For all of you that have clunking sounds and think it may be your control arms, make sure you check the steering assembly for loose or missing bolts. I would hate to find out what would have happened if the last bolt came off.

If anyone can tell me how to post a picture, I will post it for clarity.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving...

Default Is it on one of the pics on the steering rack replacement at Audipages?

Right click the pic, choose properties, copy the pic URL into the "Optional Image URL" for a new post. If you're using Firefox, just choose "Copy Image Location" when you right-click.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/susp_whls_brake_steer/srack.html">Replacing the A8 Power Steering Rack</a></li></ul>
