On an A4 convertible at least, If you dont have the luxury of a lift you must safely jack up both sides of the car, otherwise the sway bar will make removal and replacement impossible. Turning the steering is important in making enough room to remove the ball joint.
That ball joint was never split using that tool!! I know because a standard tool doesn't open far enough for an A4 or A6. The Bentleys video also skips this part.....why not show us how you really split it?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to specify the tightening torque, this information can be found in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with such information. Changing of the car parts is performed judging on the parts deterioration and can be determined only after a complex diagnosis of the vehicle by a certified repair shop. Best regards, Autodoc team.
Thank you for the feedback! To give you an answer, we need to know more information about your car and its configuration. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.

I was told that my 96 A4 needs a right side lower tension strut. What exactly is that? Is that the same as a lower control arm?
