clunk from front driver side, likely control arms, right? Please help...more

[n2stox]

In my Audi, we replace the entire control arm and are done with things.

I've searched here and it seems like some folks are pressing in new bushings. I do not have a press, so I can't do that, but I am mechanically inclined having done control arms multiple times on my S4.

So, a few questions:

If I take it to the dealer (our local dealer is actually pretty decent), will they replace the bushing or just swap in a new control arm? I know, I could call them, but I don't feel like it right now.

How easy is it to just replace the thing on our own? I have not even looked, but I will this weekend as I put in new pads and rotors up front.

thanks,

Jeff

They'll just replace the control arm. I don't think it is too difficult, but I have never done a full control arm myself. Chec the how-to section, I think there is a write up on how to do it.
