Replacement Parts - Need Help/Advice

[DHall1]

I would still just order the upper inner audi bushes and let any local shop press them in.

100 bucks and done. I like leaving good RS6 sh#t alone and replacing only worn pieces

Understand, but its clanking (which bushings would/should take car of) but going thru the maint records (about 2inches thick of recipts) i dont see any sign that they have been replaced. I figure if i can get a good deal on that above linked kit (12 piece kit from meyle for a good price) why not replace everything and get it nice and tight again. Its not slopy, but i am sure with some parts having 87k on them, they have to be worn a bit, maybe not near failure yet though.

So, is this the correct kit for the RS6, even though it doesnt list the RS6?

OK, so that linked kit is not the right kit for the RS6. Spoke with Daniel at europaparts and this is what you need to get for the RS6:

But this kit but you cant use the lower straight arms (ones struts connect to), but still cheaper to get the whole kit and sell these yourself and recoup ~$160-$200 from purchase price.

Then you need to add on 2 of these lower straight arms:

So total price is $795 (less what ever you can sell the wrong lower straight arms for). I thinks thats not a bad deal at all for almost everything new up front. Think i am going to get the kit, and hold off till after winter and get the Kono's too and do everything at once and get the DRC outta there.

Also, I have been talking to a few people and they are not familiar with Meyle (which the above whole kit is made up of. Not sure if they are a smaller company, or not that well known or these people are in the only put OE parts on the car group). In everyones experience here, how do these ride/hold up compared to stock? Similar ride and longevaty, or better than stock? What would be a next level up from these (more $$$ i would assume). Want to get the most bang for my buck and if these are as good/better than OE, its not that bad of a deal.

Thanks!

Here's the correct kit all-in-one, no need to try selling anything off.

Couple that with a pair of 4D0422821A (Inner tie rod ends) and your control arm kit is truly complete
If all you care about is the cost, Lemforder is europa's next-level-up, piece together a kit and it'd run about twice the cost but with no appreciable uptick in quality/longevity. I've used Meyle components in previous vehicles and been more than happy with the results.

Makes me wonder what the difference is between the 151D & 151K controls arms other than the $140.00/pr
