I recently replaced the front bushings with ES stuff and put RB springs on.

When I turn the front wheels from lock to lock in parking lot driving I hear a pop from the front end. I have not inspected everything yet for proper torques and stuff.

However, I have heard that a pop could mean balljoint troubles.

So, for my information. If you need to replace front control arm balljoints in a S5 you have to replace the entire control arm?

Thanks!

Yes.

What really sucks is when the only problem is that boot is torn and all the grease keeps getting pressed out...

 

Or pick up a set of s4 control arms with replacable ball joints.

 

I was wondering about that.

The only thing that I think would be different would be the sway bar link braze on.

Or are they the same?

Josepi - Are you saying the popping could be fixed by putting in more grease? Or is the damage already done?

Yo James, I gots some slightly used S4 arms on my sport lol Sorry I did not catch you on IM's last night my mom told me your feeling better. That is good.

They were different, but easily fixed. I just don't remember what I had to do. I'll take a look over the weekend.

 

Thanks Fastrakr!

James

 

FASTRAKR, did you find anything out?

 

And I forgot to tighten the nuts for the sway bar...DOH!

Popping went away
