The factory rubber bushings are designed to allow a fair amount of forward and backward wheel movement to absorb road impacts, providing a smooth and comfortable ride. While this helps deliver the luxurious feel Audi is known for, it also contributes to a disconnected, vague steering feel that many enthusiasts find lacking. Beyond comfort, the constant flexing of the rubber bushings also leads to issues over time—such as reduced handling, steering delays, wheel shimmy, braking delays, unwanted alignment shifts, and uneven tire wear. Aside from the fact they are rubber factory, they are also fluid filled, and once they crack and the fluid leaks out the life of the bushing is immensely diminished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tgk-p\"\u003eTGK Motorsport introduces its new Thrust Arm Spherical Monoballs! We designed this solution to deliver vastly improved durability over the OEM bushings, requiring no modifications and providing nearly instant response in cornering and braking for an enhanced driving experience. These monoballs feature a sealed OEM Lemforder ball joint known for its exceptional quality and longevity. The bearing assembly is precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum with a knurled outer diameter for a perfect press fit and long-lasting durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-ic\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M3 3h18v2H3V3zm0 4h12v2H3V7zm0 4h18v2H3v-2zm0 4h12v2H3v-2zm0 4h18v2H3v-2z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh-title\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tgk-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6061-T6 Anodized Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBall Joint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Lemforder Sealed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC7 A6\/S6\/RS6\/A7\/S7\/RS7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo Modifications Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnurled Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-ic\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M13 2L3 14h9l-1 8 10-12h-9l1-8z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feats\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-chk\"\u003e✓\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-txt\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOEM Lemforder Ball Joint\u003c\/b\u003eSealed construction ensures exceptional quality and longevity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-chk\"\u003e✓\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-txt\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e6061-T6 Anodized Aluminum\u003c\/b\u003ePrecision CNC machined bearing assembly for maximum durability.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-chk\"\u003e✓\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-txt\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePerfect Press Fit\u003c\/b\u003eKnurled outer diameter ensures secure installation and long-lasting performance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-chk\"\u003e✓\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-txt\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLow-Friction Operation\u003c\/b\u003eNo-bind suspension travel without unwanted deflection for optimal performance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-chk\"\u003e✓\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-txt\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDirect Installation\u003c\/b\u003eNo modifications required for seamless OEM replacement.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-chk\"\u003e✓\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-feat-txt\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEnhanced Response\u003c\/b\u003eNearly instant response in cornering and braking with superior steering precision.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-ic\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M22.7 19l-9.1-9.1c.9-2.3.4-5-1.5-6.9-2-2-5-2.4-7.4-1.3L9 6 6 9 1.6 4.7C.4 7.1.9 10.1 2.9 12.1c1.9 1.9 4.6 2.4 6.9 1.5l9.1 9.1c.4.4 1 .4 1.4 0l2.3-2.3c.5-.4.5-1.1.1-1.4z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-sh-title\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the ideal interference fit for installation?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tgk-faq-a\"\u003eInterference of .002-.007\" is ideal.
