sounds like mismatched deflection would be an issue. I guess I'll get the updated right arm with the better bushing.

Just an update. My old 2008 Cayenne Turbo has since been sold, but came in for service today. It'd been right at two years since I installed the Mevotech aluminum arms, and the lower ball joint boots are destroyed. Get what you pay for I guess.

Thats good additional info Mr. Merk, glad I went with Lemforder.

After seeing the quality issues, and differences between the right and left arms, and the 2 additional Mevotech supreme arms I bought to confirm the physical differences, there was no way I was using them.

Where yours Mevotech Supreme or standard arms? Those blue boots seemed puzzling to me.

I still have original arms at 176K miles. I’ve replaced the inner bushings once at 100K with OE bushings. Ball joint is original and tight. Seems a good choice at this point.

Has anyone tried Meyle aluminum upper/lower arms from the Q7?

Always had good luck with them on other vehicles, and was planning to use those on my Pepper later this year.

Right about 15k miles since the arms were installed, but I believe the boot split sometime in the last 8k
