About the Front Multi-Link Audi S8 Control Arm Suspensions
Starting in 2001 the Audi S8 models have a sophisticated multi-link front control arm suspension. The Audi S8 multi-link suspension is a light weight all aluminum design which offers excellent driving comfort and great performance benefits over other automobiles. Most other cars feature a two a-arm control arm front suspension. The two a-arm control arm front suspension work great for basic function but will lack some performance. The Audi S8 front control arm system consists of 8 control arms total and 2 sway bar links. This complex system offers superior suspension geometry for greater vehicle handling, steering input, improved tire contact patch during spirited driving and minimal bump steer or torque steer. The above-mentioned information makes for a better driving car as is often associated with an Audi.
Even though the front multi-link Audi S8 control arm suspension offers great benefits, it also does have some hinderances. Obviously, more control arms mean more control arms and cost for replacement. The front Audi S8 struts are mounted directly to the lower forward control arms which amplifies direct road vibration and can amplify or accelerate control arm wear. Each control arm features an integral Audi S8 control arm ball joint casted into each control arm. This makes a simple ball joint replacement impossible. Requiring you to replace the entire control arm unit when dealing with a loose ball joint. A significant amount of weight rests on each control arm and ball joint. Such significant dynamic loads can lead to eventual control arm failure. Also, excessive lateral loads stress the lower aft and upper control arm ball joints and control arm bushings resulting in suspension noises and squeaks. Too, due to the force of gravity, the lubricant in the control arm ball joint flows from the upper side of the ball joint downwards into the sealing ring. This loss of lubrication around the entire ball joint area leads to wear and eventual failure of the integral Audi S8 control arm ball joint. Most Audi S8 owners become aware of this by the front suspension squeaking noises and mild knocking.
