    front balljoints

    before i order new from Pete/Audi, anyone have a pair they are selling?

    Need to be those which work with the cast wishbones (cant remember if they differ between pressed and cast wishbones)

    Cheers

        to be honest i could be barking up the wrong tree, car is squirming under breaking, quite likely it could be yet another pair of shagged top mounts

              IME they do squirm under braking, even when nice and toight; it's usually caused by a sensitivity to cambers and road conditions. Could equally be tyres, pressures or tracking. Get it up on a ramp and have a good poke about. There could also be a loose bolt, I had a WB bolt come loose, it clunked and felt a bit off.

                Are they OEM ones, if so I would suspect they may be past it? I used to be the OEM champion, but have started putting poly ones on as they are (almost) fit and forget...
