I own a 1999 audi and I recently started to hear a clunking noise in the frontend. During an oil change the audi dealer told me that my control arm bushings were going bad. I did not get them replaced at that time. Afew weeks later I was on the internet and read about a controlarm bushing recall for the 1999 audi. I called the dealership they had heard of the upcoming recall but has no paperwork on it. Then I called the audi headquarters they told me that it the recall was under investigation. I am sure my car is part of this recall. I also read that at low speeds the effected part can come loose and make my tire fall of the car. I do not want to spend the $1000 to get this fixed if it is a recall. I have recived no help from audi to see wether my car will be in the recall or not.
1999 Audi A6 suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Suspension:front:control arm:upper arm is making noise when car is rolling. The dealer had to replace it since I heard on your web site that this could lead to the fall of front wheels. The car is less than five years and this should not happen.
Front suspension failures. Audi a6 front control arms and tie rod ends seem to fail prematurely. I have had to replace first 3 of the left control arms and tie rod end, and then 2 months later 3 of the right control arms and tie rod end on my 1999 audi a6 with 53,000 miles.
Right front wheel assembly on right side of car separatedfrom car. The upper control arm broke causing the assembly to fall off the car.
The front end is too low for parking at the curb, I have had to replace 2 front bumpers... Very expensive.
