    Rear Strut Mounts?

    Does anyone make uprated rear strut mounts? Or does this car not have them and the strut just bolts to the frame?

    I know 034 has some for the front which I will be getting when I get my new suspension put on.

    Our A4s do not have struts, either rear or front. The front "looks" like struts, but technically are not. The rear is coil springs with control and track arms.

    Not the same thing at all. Our B6's use control arms, springs and shocks. A strut utilizes the shock tube as part of the suspension. No upper control arms. Steering pivots on the strut.

    No. Never seen or heard about upgraded upper suspension mounts.
