Suspension Arm Replacement

Model: Audi A4 B6 - Years 2000-2004
Part: Control arm

Driving on rough terrain or using road salt for snow melting often damages the bushings of the suspension arms, making them annoyingly noisy. Replacing the suspension arms is a relatively simple task: you just need to remove the mounting bolts that secure the arm at both ends of the suspension (shock absorber side and suspension support side), extract the ball joints from their respective seats, and then install the new arms in reverse order (it is recommended to replace both even if only one is damaged).
After installation, the ride will become much more comfortable and quiet.
