Default Control arm time. A6 control arms differ from allroad correct? Where is the best price for allroad?

Also which arms seem to go first? If have issues on my drivers side so any pointers that will minimize my time rolling around in the cold are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Default I think the A6, allroad and A4 share the same uppers. The allroad

has unique lowers. Not sure which ones go first. You have to roll around to find out.

Default You could try to call ECS Tuning or shop on any of the most common part sites like -> link

you'll need to look at your control arms to see which one will go first, IIRC, the upper arms take usually a bit more of a beating [rebound issue, normal for such a heavy car (had mine replaced in Oct last year)].<ul><li><a href="http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/">http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/</a</li></ul>

Default Deutsche Parts, an ebay vendor, has control arm kits pretty cheap..

However, I'm unsure of the quality. I asked them who made the parts and they say it's a German outfit I've never heard of called HT. The only HT I could find on the web that had anything to do with control arms looked to be based in China, uck...
Has anyone else ever heard of these guys???

Default I got mine off ebay...

It was pretty cheap, I bought 2 pieces (driver side upper arms). They say it's made in Germany, but who knows! They've been on for about 1 month, no problems so far.

Here's the link:
