Default New control arms?

Where could I get a new front control arm kit for a good price? The driver side is the only one that is bad. The ball joints on the upper front and the tie rods are busted

you could only be so lucky, I wish that a dealler did that to me, cus here in texas, theres a little something call the decepitive trade act that says that if they lie to make a sale, then you can get three time the spent amount in damages. Plus if audi did the recall work on that car then they can find paper showing it was done.

All you'd have to do is call another dealer and have them run your VIN # for verification that it was done. How long have you had your car btw? The service recall is fairly new.
