Replacing ball joints and control arms questions

**tilt** · 08-06-2008 03:01 PM

First Question. My car is riding pretty crappy and I need to replace the struts and balljoints and possible control arms. I am probably just going to go coilover when I do the swap to save time. Where is the cheapest place to order control arms and balljoints from? Do they come in packages?

2nd Question. My passenger wheel is cambered in noticably more than the other wheel. Could this be a bent control arm or something that could be adjusted?

eBay is one source but Lemforder is the best brand for suspension parts.

The unequal camber may be a bent control arm. If nothing is bent, the cross camber can be divided equally between each side by shifting the subframe.

Wasnt there a updated version fo the tierod ends? Isnt the new version supposed to be "beefier"?

Where would you find that at?

TIA

search Ebay, they have a complete kit for sale like 550 or something shipped. it's a 13 piece kit for your entire front suspension and its OEM

We've got a very comprehensive kit for the B6 which includes all 8 arms, front sway links, and tie rod ends. Manufactured by Febi-Bilstein in Germany, they're a great kit from a reputable company.
