    Squeaky suspension/steering

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So my 2003 S6 has developed quite the loud squeak. It mainly occurs after having driven a few miles, and mainly while turning left (although a bit while turning to the right as well). It also can make a little noise when entering or exiting the vehicle. I'm assuming outer tie rods? Anyone think I should replace inners as well? I'll prob replace UCA's while I'm in there. Not sure if my lowers are still good, as I have 15 yrs and 130K on her...

    sounds like your on the right track with replacing all the c-arms, especially with the miles
    if the inner rods don't have play, leave 'em alone

    your squeak is prolly from on the of the upper arm bushings

    Thanks for the input Papertoast. I've ordered outer tie rods and UCAs, I'll be sure to check the inners for play while Im in there.
