Audi Control Arms FAQ
What Do Audi Control Arms Do?
One end of a control arm connects to the chassis, where bushings limit vibration and noise while reducing any metal-on-metal contact. The other end connects to the steering knuckle by way of a ball joint. That allows your wheels to enjoy smooth movement in every direction.
What Are The Types of Audi Control Arm Assemblies?
Control arms are connected through bolt in, unitized, or press in assemblies. MacPherson struts typically features bolt-in assemblies. Unitized and press in assemblies both integrate with a ball joint, so you'll need to replace the whole assembly when you're replacing one. That's usually an easier job than it is to replace a bolt-in assembly.
How Do You Recognize Failing Control Arms?
Even the best control arms can wind up going bad, whether due to age or rough road conditions. Signs of problems include:
- Loss of control
- Your Audi drifts when you brake or go over uneven terrain
- Uncomfortable ride quality
- Popping or clunking sounds
- Uneven tire tread wear
How Much Does An Audi Control Arm Replacement Cost?
On average, you can expect to pay between $220 and $530 for parts alone. That varies, of course, based on the size of your vehicle and where you're having the work done. Keep in mind that labor can add another $150 to $200 to that amount.
