todd, quite clearly you need to get your car fixed.  if it's not exhibiting
the bite, then...

i suggest an alignment....

Subject: spider Bite in ur-A6q???

	THe reason I ask is I drove the A6 all weekend last weekend.  We
had plently of rain (ie...Low CF conditions) and I spent much time on dirt
roads.  Despite trying to duplicate it where I had open space to do so I
cold not....
That said, There are some deserted open corners I found to try it on.
Uphill, downhill, Neutral throttle at the limit, Full Throttle through it
with car fighting for grip, even trailing throttle or slamming throttle
shut mid-corner and drifting.  But I never got the car to go into any sort
of un-controllable behavior)  I even did a circle at full throttle skid
pad style untill the car jsut started understeering and I had to back off
for fear of going straight.  But it was jsut constant understeer.
Suddenly close throttle while doing this and the tail moves out a bit and
closes circle but not uncontrollabley so.
