Im pretty sure its more, i priced one from tps few months back and it cost me about £40, thats even with my special rate discount, have you tried factors and pages?
Get a price from Audi - strangely they were cheaper than I thought, although that's going back a couple of years. Alternatively use Lemforder Which was probably OE specification anyway.
i am gona phone audi but as ther closed right now i cant .. it was only a quick guide to see if anyone knows the price lemforder ones are 35 quid from euro car farts

I use Lemforder mate, GSF, £40ish but worth it, As far as i know, Lemforder make Audi's parts, just they grind off the audi logo and part number.

Same here only this time when I replace any arms I will be going for decent ones and not cheap ones!

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I need a passenger side track rod end. I had the alignment done a few weeks ago and he couldn't adjust the n/s track rod end. He said the bolt had seized and I need the adjuster bit too - I know/understand nothing about suspension, so do any of you know what he means and what the name for that adjuster part is? My local Audi are ok, but I suspect they'll look blankly at me when I give them the above explanation.

Ah right, so the track rod is attached to the tie rod, and you turn a bolt on the tie rod to adjust the track rod?
yes but first you undo the nut that locks it then turn the tie rod to set the track then re lock the nut

Right I think I get whet you mean. My nut is seized (ooh eer!), so I need both of those parts then. ECP here I come (may just check prices with Audi too).

last month i changed my 2 tops and 2 lower arms on the driver side with lemforder and a new shock and spring from Audi, the track rod ends i did last year with lemforder so the front right is almost all brand new again, cost me a small fortune!
You guys should not complain, i had to buy allroad front lower suspension arms and they are 180 quid each dealer only parts ! Granted, when they last 10 years without problems then they are money well spent !

The front lower arm for the alloy upright is the same arm but with a longer more narrow ball joint.
