Parts supplier febi has highlighted the excellent availability it has for replacement parts on the Audi A4 as well as a convenient solution to common front axle repairs.

On our roads since 1994 and now in its fifth generation, the Audi A4 is one of the most popular executive saloons in Ireland and continues to be in demand as both a new and used car. The nature of most Audi owners means that vehicle maintenance is very important to them, so demand for replacement parts is always healthy.

febi stocks over 1,000 references for Audi A4 models across its core ranges, including Steering, Suspension and Electrical, as well as Braking components and Transmission parts.

A common repair on the A4 concerns the front steering and suspension configuration. When repairing the front axle, the shock absorber often has to be separated from the wheel bearing

housing. The nuts and bolts are often over-torqued and can be seized or corroded. Trying to re-use theses fastenings would make future repairs almost impossible. It would also lead to the potential for breakages, which would lead to another parts order, further delays and added cost.

febi bilstein always recommends that the nuts and bolts are replaced each time, to ensure a professional high quality repair. For this purpose, the company offers a suspension bolt kit (part 27876) which provides all the necessary parts for a repair, The kit, in OE matching quality, includes a bolt for the shock absorber mounting, and a hex nut.
