I now have sympathy with anyone who ever removed these MF's
RHS squirt of penetrating oil, one sledge hammer bash and dropped out....
LHS ended up with a disc cutter once I realised the SoB was bent.
The bolt had worn/corroded at the ball joint locations and I guess with lots of use formed a new shape.Arms were a mess too .....joints were 'floppy' to say the least.
Guess it was only time before it would have broken.
Smiled as I drifted the remains of the bolt out then searched out the new upper arms which had been gathering dust for weeks and hey ho the flaming new pinch bolts are missing from the kit of parts... damm 5 pm Saturday .....back to Audi Monday then.....
So if you have a low speed clunking and a bit of less that tight steering come join the pinch bolt club.
Oh and don't ever believe that Bentley how too video on You Tube....lies...all...lies
