Removing the Suspension Control Arm

Model: Audi Tt 8N, MK 1 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Control arm

To remove the front suspension control arm, position the vehicle on appropriate automotive jack stands, remove the front wheel, and start by disconnecting the tie rod end from the hub support: this will provide more maneuvering space for the subsequent operations. Next, disconnect the control arm's ball joint from the hub support, then move on to the bolts securing the other two anchor points of the control arm to the engine cradle. Once the bolts are removed, you can completely take out the control arm from its location.
