Hey Randomjim thanks for the reply.

I just got a call from my mechanic and here's the damage.
He said my two lower control arms were bad on the right side.
Also he mentioned that the "boot on the axle was torn" and that he has to get a new axle in from Audi to replace it.

Does this sound right? Overall the total cost of the repair, parts and labor is running me about $1200.00

Is this guy screwing me? He's a very reputable mechanic in town so I can't image he would.

Are Audi's really that expensive to repair?

200+ for each control arm.
400 for the axle
plus labor.

I think I got into the wrong business.
