Control arm questions

**wicofleland** · 09-25-2008 06:15 AM

Any one out there now anything about the control arm kit from 034 Motorsport? I'm about to replace all my arms and want to make sure I'm not buying a bad product. I have a 99 A4 avant 1.8t.

Thanks.

I don't know anything about the specific kit they are selling, but 034 is pretty highly regarded around here so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I need to do the same thing... and am also in michigan.

034 stuff is probably some of the best stuff you can buy!

Just stay away from the meyle kits. A lot of people had them wear out really quick.

i think 034 is one of the few places that wont sell crap items. very good reputation and service. check out the vids for castrol syntec top shop challenge. linky

Really? I've never heard of that. Do you have any links to those stories? I'm running the meyle HD setup from ECS and haven't had any trouble for the past ~25k miles.

Where did you get your Meyle arms from? 034 Motorsport does't specify which company makes the Control arms they sell.

there's nothing special about the 034 control arm kit. They're OEM supplier replacement parts, and as such they're all orginal parts, they're not HD versions or anything like that. However, it's the same parts they've used on their multi-season A4 time attack car and they said they've had no failures so far.
