Restore your Audi's legendary handling precision with the iFJF Front Upper & Lower Control Arm Kit. Engineered for 2008-2009 Audi A4 (B8), A5 (B8), S4 (B8), S5 (B8), and Q5 (8R) models, this complete suspension kit replaces worn factory control arms and lateral links that cause clunking noises, uneven tire wear, steering wander, and degraded cornering performance. Each arm features pre-installed high-durometer rubber bushings and sealed ball joints that match OEM geometry for plug-and-play installation.
Key Features
-
Complete Front Suspension Kit: Includes upper control arms, lower control arms, and lateral links — everything needed for a comprehensive front-end rebuild.
-
Precision OEM Fitment: Each arm is fixture-welded to match factory geometry exactly — no alignment guesswork or fitment issues.
-
Premium Bushings & Ball Joints: High-durometer natural rubber bushings absorb road vibration while maintaining steering precision. Sealed ball joints with synthetic grease provide long service life.
-
Salt-Spray Tested: Durable black electrophoretic coating provides 500+ hours of salt-spray corrosion resistance — critical for winter-driven vehicles.
-
Eliminates Common Symptoms: Fixes front-end clunking over bumps, steering wheel vibration at highway speeds, uneven tire wear, and loose or wandering steering feel.
-
Direct Bolt-On Replacement: No modifications required — uses all factory mounting points and hardware specifications.

Why Choose iFJF
iFJF Direct brings OEM-quality chassis components to the aftermarket at a fraction of dealer pricing. Our Audi B8 control arms are manufactured on precision robotic welding fixtures that ensure every arm matches factory geometry within 0.5mm. The electrophoretic coating process provides superior corrosion protection compared to basic powder-coating or paint — critical for vehicles driven in regions with winter road salt. Every kit includes all required mounting hardware for a professional-grade installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my 2009 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro?
A: Yes. This control arm kit is designed for all 2008-2009 Audi A4 B8 models, including Quattro (AWD) and front-wheel-drive configurations.
Q: What symptoms indicate I need new control arms?
A: Common signs include: clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension when going over bumps, steering wheel vibration at 50-70 mph, uneven or scalloped tire wear, loose or wandering steering, and visible cracking in the rubber bushings.
Q: Do I need a wheel alignment after installation?
A: Yes, a professional 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after control arm replacement. The new components may alter suspension geometry slightly, and proper alignment ensures even tire wear and optimal handling.
Q: Are these arms compatible with Audi Drive Select / adaptive suspension?
A: Yes. These control arms are mechanical components that fit regardless of whether your vehicle has standard or adaptive/electronic suspension. The electronic dampers mount separately.
Q: How long do these control arms typically last?
A: With normal driving conditions, expect 60,000-100,000 miles of service life. Factors like road conditions, driving style, and climate (especially road salt exposure) affect longevity.
