Some discussion of it in these threads if you filter through, looks like the seal in the retaining cap.

Been looking at front shocks, and I assume there is no point getting B8 if she's not/won't be lowered more than 30mm?

Probably not janis but you'll need to confirm that with the professor/guru.

Rang Audi this morning for item 27 top nut for which 6 are needed, 3 each side, and they want £3.84 each Does anyone have a source for these at a much better price?

[AndyP]

Is it M8?

I bought FEBI kit that came with strut top bearing, mount, and all the nuts. I know you go for Audi OEM stuff but I'll just leave this here.

Most things i buy Audi but not all where genuine OE quality is available or better. I got a lot of inspiration and info from Wraths thread as well as snippets here and there on other threads as far as what works and doesn't in aftermarket suppliers. Will be interesting to know how your Febi front top mounts last over time. I'm going for Lemforder top mounts and bearing.

Fair enough. I've had FEBI on all my C4's and had no problem at all. Just for reference, where did you buy lemforder from? I am having problem finding anything lemforder

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

I just go on Ebay de and find it all on there.

C4 UrS Front Suspension Torque Values

I can't seam to find Daves excellent info on Torque wrench settings for the S6 suspension.If your there Dave can you pop it up on here please?

The file you seek should be either bookmarked or saved in your personal UrS directory in the Front Suspension Info sub-folder.

Or here: http://12v.org/urs/FrontSuspensionTorqueValues.PDF

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Your right of course and they were bookmarked in my old computer.I also have a paper Bentley manual but it's quicker to copy/print from those links you put up.

if you would, could you put each individual page onto this thread along with the rear suspension torque values,if you could be so kind Sir?
