I have always had luck with PB Blaster. You can pick it up at any auto parts store.

[alen]

you have an audi and you don't know what control arms are?

[Pureaudi]

[EnvyJK]

it's something every audi will have to replace, straight up

[audispeed]

they connect the wheel to the body and allow it to articulate

Should get some xtra tie rod bolts, you'll probably break them taking them out.

I used WD-40. When i couldn't get the bolt retaining the upper control arms out i lubed it up with WD-40 and used a pencil torch to head the b*tch up(heat expands...) then used a center punch and mallot to knock the bolt out. I found that that was the harded part about removing the control arms.

A really good place to buy more nuts and bolts is www.ecstuning.com they have a really good set that comes with everything and its only like $44
