Default Except you got the years wrong.

It's 1988-1990 rear control arms, same as 1990-1991 CQ



The 93-95 (B4) rear arms are DEFINITELY different.

The parts you were asking me about are designed to fit 4kq, 88-91 Audi 80/90q.

My B4 hood probably confused you...but I own a B3.

What makes the 93-95 different? Stamped arms, no? Doesn't the S2 use the same rears?

1993-1995 uses an entirely different rear suspension set-up. In fact, its the same as the A4 rear suspension.

The 1988-1991 quattro sedans, as well as the 1984-1987 4000 quattros all use a similarly designed suspension. The key feature of these cars, is that the front and rear suspension arms can be swapped. For the rally car I just keep a small collection of spares...they work on any of the four corners...I don't even mark what end they come from.

The 93-95 is a TOTALLY different. The arms are different, the struts are different, none of it is compatible with the front...OR the older cars.

As far as I know...and it's been a LONG time since I crawled under a CQ, the rear suspension design is shared with the 88-91 sedans.

That's what needs to be confirmed by Audiworld. I know Blake's coupe uses the same arms front and rear...so perhaps figure out what year his car is and that will give you the answer you seek.

I hope that helps dude!! It does get a little confusing :P

So , stupid question, but I'm guessing the 92 would be the same as the 88-91 , not the 93-95 (Seems to be a gap here into which my car falls).

'92 for the US/Canada is still a B3 - B4s debuted for the '93 model year.
