Default The control arms are from Chicago Performance Tuning...

Final cost with bolt kit was $334.50. Check the link in my sig for the website.

I had my shop do the install for everything because they always cut me a great deal on labor and because there was no doubt in my mind I couldn't do the alignment.

Default Not hard...>

Once the struts are out and the arms off, a shop should be able to press the new in easily..<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/brakes_and_suspension/defcon-control-arm-/ttarmsracedefconinstall/">Pics of Defcon install.....</a></li></ul>

Default Also don't forget the sway bar down links. Usually start to go around 90K...>>

Less than $100 for all four.

Look at my fotki for details and pics.

Default at this point you should replace the tie rod ends and the ball joints too >

160k is a lot of miles.

Default I can do the DEFCON install for you. Easiest if you can be without your car for a few days, or I

can do a "swap service" for you, sending you a set ready to go in and you send me your arms when you are done. E-mail me or post here if you want details.

Default I have the same car w/231K and just put in shocks, struts

about a month ago. Did not change the springs. Did replace the sway bar links though. Car is no longer riding like a lincoln town car but much more like the sport coupe it is. Good luck.

Default Re: one last? Will the toe be off with the Eibach's that RoadyTT suggested

Just trying to figure out if I need both the upper and lower control arms from CPT.

Thanks!!
