pinch bolt hell

**P3RryaudiA4** · 10-11-2008 04:00 PM

hey guys wasup, just got done taking out my upper control arms and i need a new pinch bolt and the str8 front upper, like an idiot i figured i could do it with just the curved one(one that was bad) So does anyone know if going to the dealer would be throwing away money for a straight upper and the bolt? i got the curved one from ecs and its the FEBI germany brand. I know that will take a few days to come tho and especialy scince the holiday, so to save time i was going to go to the dealer. just need to know the price of the control arm tho and if febi is a good brand as i dont want to have to ever do this again lol

any one that works at audi or hhas any idea it really help out thank you..

$ 5 bucks for the bolt? that not bad anyone know how much for the control arm? and is febi a decent replacement? i can get the st8 one and a new bolt for 90 bucks second day air... only reason i need the straight one is because i cooked the boot gettin the bolt out.
