    Best front control arms

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just got my cv joints done at a shop and they said my bushings are shot and I need all new control arms. I’m not paying for oem parts and I’d rather get something aftermarket. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the 034 kit and if I’m going to be spending the money I want something that’ll last and handle better. What would be the best ones to buy? I need all 8 arms

    I have the Meyle kit, which includes tie rods and sway bar end links. I’ve only had it a few k miles, but no problems so far.

    Meyle hd and 034 here.
    Durability is all about proper installation and having them tightened at ride height.

    Lemforder is genuine, you can get a great deal from rockauto if you piece the kit yourself.

    This right here.

    Torquing the lowers down on an alignment rack and knowing what angle (distance from the top) the top arms should be when installing them really helps with how long they last.

    The best control arm kit is the one that is installed correctly.

    CONTROL ARM KIT (A4 S4 RS4 B7, 12-PIECE, MEYLE HD)



    This upgraded, 12-piece OEM control arm kit includes all eight (8) front control arms, all metal tie rod ends, sway bar links, and all hardware needed to complete the control arm job on your 2005.5-2008 Audi A4/S4/RS4 B7.
