Would really like someone else to confer with the below info. If possible.
Either way, "I think" but am not 100% sure, that the cast (really they are forged, not cast) wishbones are now NLA, at least from Audi themselves.

Cast wishbone = 893 407 148 D or 857 407 148 B (first is FA sourced, second is on a receipt from vagparts)
Ball joint = 8A0 407 366 A
RS2 hardline = 8A0 611 722

Torque setting for:

Ball joint pinch nut/bolt = 50 Nm
3x ball joint to arm nuts = 65Nm
Wishbone to subframe bolts/nuts = 40 Nm + 180 degrees.

This is all on Mikes s2-audi site, really useful stuff.

PM me your email address

As a general rule (there are some exceptions), odd numbered parts are fitted to the left side and even numbered parts are fitted to the right side

can anyone clarify which side is which, in terms of drivers side and passenger side. Left and right is useless depending on which direction you are looking at the car from

Is left passenger side or drivers side?

[Jas11n]

Right is drivers side (UK) left is passenger side (UK)
Orientation is taken as if sat in the car
