A6 Knocking lower front arms.

[TUSC-AL]

Just had my A6 (2.8Q) serviced at Indy Audi dealer. He commented that both lower front arms are knocking - something which I had noticed. He said it is a common fault and was the subject of a recall for some cars. Mine is a T reg - can anyone shed any light on this, or what any solutions could be? Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the recall as mine were replaced before I got the recall letter (the recall was quite recently actually). Its a case of TADTS on these cars.

We've just had to have the TT's rear top and bottom arms replaced due to clonking. 70k gentle miles. Suspension joints seem to be a weak point on Audis.

The reason I got the Audi was for brief respites from the TADTS world of TVR. Oh well.

I'm not sure what TADTS means but my A6 has knocking Arms too. My local independant quoted me £90 a side to fix.
It'll have have to wait till the end of the month to get it fixed though.
If Audi recalled the cars originally, can I get mine done too? It's a '98 A6.

They All Do That Sir.

Price depends on which arms. There are 4 upper joints, track control arms and the bottom joints. All go on the early moedel A6 and Passat.
