The control arm bushing in Audi is going to wear out due to rough driving conditions and using over-sized tires. A bad control arm bushing causes harsh sounds underneath the car. It also increases the vibrations in the steering wheel. See this slideshow to find how to diagnose a failed arm bushing in Audi.

1. HOW TO DIAGNOSE
FAILED CONTROL ARM
BUSHING IN AUDI?

2. • Control arms connect the car’s frame to
the steering knuckle where the tires and

other cars have upper and lower arms.
• End of the control arm attaches to the
steering knuckle for the movement of the
wheels.

3. Like other parts of the car, control arm bushing is
going to wear out due to:

4. • Worn control arm bushings of the Audi
cause harsh sounds underneath the car.
• If you are driving over rocky or rough
terrain, the intensity of the sound

5. Unsettled Brakes
• Instability in the suspension and steering
components causes issues with braking.
• When braking, the front end of the car
continues to oscillate back and forth.

6. • Bad control arm bushing increases the
vibrations and is often felt in the steering
wheel.
• When accelerating, the vibrations will
intensify and can quickly become
annoying.

7. Worn Tire
• Damaged arm bushing also indicates an
issue with the tire alignment.
• When the tire is aligned professionally still
it has worn tire issues.

8. • Worn bushings pull the steering wheel
either the left or right while driving.
• Bad bushings will cause abnormal and
excess motion in the system that cause
misaligned wheels.

9. Conclusion
• Best to replace the control arm bushings of
the Audi at once when it is worn.
• Consult with a trained and certified
