A4 Question
A4 control arm squeaks are common. After working with five or more I
would be willing to bet that the problem is not at the frame end of the arms it is due to dried out ball joints. You can fix by using a grease needle adapter to inject white lithium into the rubber boots. It will take 3 or 4 days to work in and then will probably stay fine for at least two years.

You can buy a needle adapter for your regular grease gun fitting at a
parts store for a couple of $. It just snaps in. Tony Matt wrote: > Thanks to everyone who replied with advice. Looks like I'm off to mug one of > the local 'crack-heads' for a hypodermic!!!!! :-) > > |
