Default How far can she go??

On a bad tie rod/ control arm f'd? I'm hearing a half *** duck fart from my passenger side when I corner go over bumps ect. How long can I make it before I mess something else up. I am thinking up just buying a control arm kit that includes tie rod links and all the components. I've done a little research but is there a decent kit priced under $300? Thanks

ever see one of those ppl on the side of the road with a wheel facing left, and the other straight? I say get it replaced, and if you can't afford an entire kit, just buy the needed peices.

hey dank a4 where exactly are you from? if your looking for somewhere to do good, inexpensive work i know of someone.

his name is tony and he owns a place called precision imports. he went to UTI for euro **** and only works on audis and bmw's and ****. his wife is smokin hot too! haha but he honestly is such a graet resource to have near me... for example, he did my complete timing belt kit with everything, including cam seals, fender install, and tie rod end install for $500, and we went to the dealership together to get the parts, which alone was like $2xx.00 !

also - last night i was hearing some noise from my front end so i called him up at 8 and stopped on at 830 and we drove around and then put my car up on his lift and found out that the top bolt of my front strut assembly was loose, so we took that all apart and got it all squarred away, about an hour later total i was gone, and he tried getting me out of there without paying him a penny!!! i left him a 20 i threw out of the car to him cause he woulndt accept it...

pm me if you have any q's
