I know that there are a few in the trade on this board who have probably done this job numerous times: I have one worn top control arm ball joint in my 99 passat, so should I change the whole set, or just the one joint?
I've done the whole set before on my nephew's Audi A4 which is identical, so I know what's involved! (They were all bad - top joints, bottom joints, sway bar bushes, shocks - 270,00km with 18" wheels had taken its toll!)
If you change just one, do you find that others need changing shortly afterwards? Which manufacturer have you used - OEM, or the fabi/bilstein or meyle kits?
