Most 1996 - on Audi models have a sophisticated multi-link front control arm suspension. The Audi struts are mounted onto the control arm and the integral Audi control arm ball joint is at an upside down installation position.
The weight of an Audi chassis rests on the upper side of the control arm ball joint. Such significant dynamic loads can lead to eventual failure of the control arm bushings hydro filling. Too, due to the force of gravity, the lubricant in the control arm ball joint flows from the upper side downwards into the sealing ring. This loss of lubrication leads to wear and eventual failure of the integral Audi control arm ball joint. Audi owners become aware of this by the front suspension squeaking noise when braking.
Ocap control arm kits are a great replacement option. Ocap of Italy have developed improved Audi control arms. The materials used in these improved Ocap Audi control arms prove to be a long-term solution for Audi control arm problems. The control arm bushing material is composed of an updated resilient material for improved steering input, handling and durability. Ocap control arm kits also include improved control arm rubber dust boots, made of a high quality material which prevents cracking and exposure of the ball joint as well as better moly grease for less wear and more miles.
