I am living on the edge, lol
I have been working on the wife's and mine constantly alternating each week trying to get everything up to snuff. The previous owner of my wife's A4 took some short cuts when removing the pinch bolt for the upper control arms, used a cutting wheel to cut the bolt through the slit in the steering knuckle. So next week hers is getting two new steering knuckles, new bearings and hubs and new control arms.. fun times
