    both forward lower links have excessive play
    torn cv boot
    oil is leaking, burning off with some occasional white smoke (valve cover, camshaft adjuster, plugs)

    When I replaced all my control arms on my S4 I went with the Febi-Bilstein kit after some people mentioned having issues with the Meyle parts. I bought my stuff from Pure Motorsports but that was a few years ago. Actually, one of the lower control arms that I bought went bad after a few months but it was replaced by PureMS under warranty. I sold the car not too long after that.

    Got the oil issues resolved - so relieved thats done. AoH replaced the valve cover gaskets, cam adjuster seals and caps.

    Next up - suspension issues: cv boot and control arms. That FCP Groton kit looks like the winner. Only real question is who is going to do the install...

    They gave me a 20% discount off list for the parts, but the parts weren't the majority of the cost :(
