| Control arm bearings of the front suspension on my audi a6 2.8 quattro wagon (my 1999) show excessive wear after ~80,000 mls. oem seems to be aware of since it delivers complete repair kits that include all control arms instead since 2003. same front suspension is also used on vw passat and audi a4 all with the same issues. recall in germany was done. why not in usa? *tr | |||

| Front suspension failures. audi a6 front control arms and tie rod ends seem to fail prematurely. i have had to replace first 3 of the left control arms and tie rod end, and then 2 months later 3 of the right control arms and tie rod end on my 1999 audi a6 with 53,000 miles. *la | |||

| Suspension:front:control arm:upper arm is making noise when car is rolling. the dealer had to replace it since i heard on your web site that this could lead to the fall of front wheels. the car is less than five years and this should not happen.*ak | |||
