This video is how to replace, repair, install or fix worn out, broken or damaged upper control arms on AUDI A5, S5, A4, S4 and Q5.
This job is not hard if pinch bolt is not stuck. In my case pinch bolt stuck inside and it was not easy to remove it.
All the torque specs are in a video.
Thank you for watching!

A hint from Germany, to loosen the screw, it is useful to tear off the screw head on the right side. Then you should put washers on the left side on the screw thread and then put the nut back on. Afterwards turn the nut until no screw thread is left. Then put washers back on until the screw is out. And don’t forget to use some fluids. Heating the aluminum construction can cause some cracks. And if you are working on it don’t forget to put some washers into the slits to avoid damage.

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowing. I own a 2012 A5 Sportback 2.0 TFSI with 145.000 km, and it has become so imprecise (Last 20.000 km I've noticed more and more imprecission)...upper control arms bushings seems to be too much worn out...so i'm about to receive a new set of control arms for replacing it, following your nice tricks! I hope this refresh improves the driving experience 🤞

Just got my car checked out at an Audi Service shop here in Sydney.

Attempting this at the weekend. Just lifted the car to get some plusgas on the bolts and both sides turned with the breaker. Keeping my fingers crossed for it!

I've been fighting tons of seized bolts on my b5 v6. I don't even bother turning them without applying some heat now. I know this bolt will be another pain but at least it is easier to access than the down pipe studs. I had to engineer a special jig to drill them out precisely and not damage the threads.

@user-dr4nn7tq5n

One of my upper control arms is not flush with the knuckle, is it designed like that by factory. I have seen all other Q7 and Q5 and they are flush on both sides

This is first best video about upper control arms. All others using some pointless special tools and shit. You just do i as real mechanic. Using what you've got. Im about to replace mines in few days. And exactly like you did. Never used any f... Special tools. And job still gets done 😎🤙👍
