Contact Quattrofrog (Phil) he works for Audi and knows the price on parts.

Default you guys have some 4Z7 parts in your suspension...
4z7= allroad speciffic.

without speciffic part numbers to search for I'd refrain from buying any miscelaneous control arms with expectations of them working properly on an allroad.

Default Accidently chose the wrong forum from the pull down, but since I'm here
Be careful. I don't know anything about that seller, but there have been reports in C5 A6 of low-quality made-in-China knockoff control arm sets on eBay.

I'm probably sticking with Blau or ECS when it comes time on our Audis.

Default I can check monday... but i think some of the allroad arms are longer
than the rest of the 4 link arms... I wouldnt be surprised if the lower straight arm is allroad speciffic.

Default Would make sense, the Air susp. takes a bit more space then standard springs/shocks.
and also travels a longer way if I'm not mistaken, so the control arms may be longer, and possibly have slight different angle.

Thanks Phil, I really appreciate it.

Default Cool beans...did not know 4ZT was allroad specific (am looking at wheel cover now and see it).
I was just curious about the merchandise on ebay. Eventually I am going to have to buy/or use warranty on these items.

Thanks guys!
