A4 Question
 

A4 control arm squeaks are common. After working with five or more I
would be willing to bet that the problem is not at the frame end of the
arms it is due to dried out ball joints.

You can fix by using a grease needle adapter to inject white lithium
into the rubber boots. It will take 3 or 4 days to work in and then will
probably stay fine for at least two years.

Thanks to everyone who replied with advice. Looks like I'm off to mug one of
the local 'crack-heads' for a hypodermic!!!!! :-)

You can buy a needle adapter for your regular grease gun fitting at a
parts store for a couple of $. It just snaps in.
