This kit does more than replace rubber. Its offset design moves the pivot point of the lower control arm to add positive caster and change how the front end resists dive under braking, which improves straight-line stability and turn-in feel.
Expect a difficult job of about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit for the Audi A3.
