Allroad Front Suspension Parts

[stewartbuckland]

Can anyone recommend where to source the front lower suspension arms for my Allroad 2001Y 2.5V6. I know Meyle parts seem to come highly recommended and I've been able to pickup most of the suspension parts through a www.allgermanparts.co.uk at quite reasonable prices.

However I still need both the lower front (4Z7 407 151C) and lower rear (4Z7 407 693D/4Z7 407 694 - left & right h/s versions) control arms. Emailed Meyle and they recommeded allgerman and Europarts (who were seemingly unable to source ANY parts) so am at a bit of a loss.

Spoke to Audi dealer and they want £131 for the 151C and £113.25 for the 693/694D's !!!!

The Meyle parts are 1/2 this cost and a bet a much more heavy duty part. I've also seen Lemforder make parts but cannot find any distributors for them.

Please tell me I don't have to cave in and pay the ******** their exhorbitant prices.

Just an update for anyone else finding themselves with this problem.

I was able to buy 6 of the 10 front suspension arms (Meyle HD) from allgermanparts for a very reasonable £120 odd.

I tried the world over to get the lower 4 arms - even talked directly to Meyle but they said they may make in the future but it was not a big priority as not much demand.

This raises an interesting point for all those looking at the Meyle suspension kits shown on ebay and advertised as fitting the Allroad - THEY DON'T !!!!. Well at least 4 of the arms don't and they are the biggies.
The kits are only A6 standard only so beware of what you are buying.

The 4 remaining arms I had to buy as Audi originals at something like £500 the set - OUCH !!!!.
