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\u003cp\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. By using a sealed ball joint, We have achieved low-friction, no-bind suspension travel without unwanted deflection, resulting in superior steering precision, turn-in response, and direct braking feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eATTN: Given the nature of the solid bushing and being press fit, measure the diameter of your arm before pressing the bushing in. OEM (and especially aftermarket) control arm hole diameters can vary pretty wildly. Interference of .002-.007” is ideal. Looser and they may knock around. Tighter and they may require extreme press forces and will be very likely to gall the mating surfaces during installation. If the interference is too high, you can lightly sand\/file\/ream the hole out until it’s in the correct range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061-T6 Anodized Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM Lemforder Sealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e B9 A4\/S4\/RS4\/A5\/S5\/RS5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Press Fit - No Modifications Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterference Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.002\"-0.007\" Ideal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures and benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Lemforder Ball Joint\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sealed design ensures exceptional quality and longevity with low-friction operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision CNC Machined\u003c\/strong\u003e — 6061-T6 anodized aluminum construction with knurled outer diameter for perfect press fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Modifications Required\u003c\/strong\u003e — Direct OEM replacement design installs without any vehicle modifications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Steering Precision\u003c\/strong\u003e — Eliminates rubber bushing deflection for immediate turn-in response and direct feedback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Braking Response\u003c\/strong\u003e — No-bind suspension travel delivers direct braking feedback and eliminates delays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEliminates Common Issues\u003c\/strong\u003e — Prevents wheel shimmy, alignment shifts, uneven tire wear, and premature bushing failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"TGK Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52392973893934,"sku":"TGK-0411-04","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/1719\/1726\/files\/SUS-06_Web_5.jpg?v=1785948639","url":"https:\/\/shopicwp.com\/products\/tgk-motorsport-audi-thrust-arm-spherical-monoball-kit-b9-a4-s4-rs4-a5-s5-rs5","provider":"Inner Circle Wheels and Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
