Consumer Description

CONTROL ARM BEARINGS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON MY AUDI A6 2.8 QUATTRO WAGON (MY 1999) SHOW EXCESSIVE WEAR AFTER ~80,000 MLS. OEM SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF SINCE IT DELIVERS COMPLETE REPAIR KITS THAT INCLUDE ALL CONTROL ARMS INSTEAD SINCE 2003. SAME FRONT SUSPENSION IS ALSO USED ON VW PASSAT AND AUDI A4 ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUES. RECALL IN GERMANY WAS DONE. WHY NOT IN USA? *TR
