A nice little DIY job. Nothing too complicated and no special tools needed etc. Be sure to get links that are supplied with the bolts (as covered in detail in the video) as they can be expensive on their own and should be replaced with the links. Have fun!

[@alexuswilliams5426]

what about tightening nuts in the unladen position?

[@iTzClickForLife]

Thanks for these videos so far on the A6 C6 platform. Look forward to seeing more as there's definitely not much out there on this car regarding content!

Do you need to get the tracking done when replacing these?

[@AnontheGOAT]

Nice video except for the fact that you didn't tighten the bolts by putting the suspension under load.

[@mariusvornicu80]

What's happen if you do not tight the bolts unde load ?

[@RomanTrollanski]

@@mariusvornicu80 pai ce sa se întâmple? Se deteriorează și eventual se vor rupe bucșele, partea de cauciuc. In mod normal se strâng șuruburile până aproape de maxim, apoi se pune suspensia "under load" adica ca si cum ar fi cu roata pusă și bune ridicată pe cric, "pozitia neutră" și apoi se strânge de tot. Daca strângi înainte de "under the load" când pui roata și o dai jos de pe cric, cum crezi că o să suporte "stres'ul ăla bucșa de cauciuc"?!

Excellent clearly explained videos thank you. Would be great to see some on C64F A6 Avant, in particular I need to remove upper window trim to try and solve a rattle in there, have previously removed lower trim to replace wiper motor.

thank u for this video perfect ....

[@chayburton3853]

Would this solve a failed MOT that says… “anti roll bar linkage pin or bush excessively worn offside front?”” Cheers

[@stewartrs4276]

Now then can you do some videos on a b7 rs4 on maintenance and brake pads nice vid by the way

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! We certainly can. Send us over an RS4 and we'll get stuck in ;-) Seriously though, on our channel you will find LOTS of content for the B6 and B7 platforms, the majority of which are also applicable to the RS4.

[@gsommerfeldt]

Can you just turn the wheel and do this with the car on the ground? Or does it have to be jacked up? I.e. is there any tension on the anti roll bar when the car is level on the ground?

[@TotalTechnik]

No, it has to be jacked up unfortunately. Yes, there is pressure on the bar with the weight of the car on the ground. Likewise, when you only jack up one side it has pressure on the bar on the opposite side which can make alignment a big problem. The best option is to jack up both sides if you have two jacks, or better still prop it using axle stands one on each side. This way there is zero pressure on the bar and you can work much, much easier.

[@stev1efps951]

Sorry to be a pain buddy but what size spanners are you using please? Thanks.

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! We've not covered the sizing too in-depth as it can vary depending on the brand of the links being refitted. Did you mean the size, or the length? --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

[@turbowank16v]

These brands that come with the nuts and bolts are much better.the lemforder ones that come with a pre fitted nut on top bush are a bugger to line up.

[@TotalTechnik]

Yes, it's nice and saves a lot of hassle when they come with the correct fitting right out of the box :-) --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

Where you guys from I might take you up on that offer to do work on my rs4

We were thinking more like a gift, lol. Would be nice to have an RS4 here we could completely strip down to bare bones and make every conceivable video along the way!

I reused my bolts for this

Should have said upper window trim on tailgate!

WHY NOT USE A BIT OF PLUSGAS, MAKES LIFE EASIER..............

[@156nunez]

I did this now my car pulls to the left what i did wrong?

[@TotalTechnik]

It is likely that you have done nothing wrong. After changing any suspension components it is possible that the suspension geometry can change, and it only takes a small amount to throw the tracking off a touch. Usually when doing a large suspension job you HAVE to get the tracking aligned after the job is done (it's part of the process). However, for smaller items like these links often there is little to no change and so only needed if, as in your case, you get a slight misalignment. Basically your suspension will be sitting a tiny bit differently to before, thanks to the brand new bushes. Where it is sitting right now is likely to be more correct than where it was sitting on the worn bushes (!!) but a wheel alignment will be needed to get the tracking back to where you need it to be. But do be sure to double-check your work before taking that step just in case something is not quite mounted correctly.
