S4 Federal headlight crossbar

[gjz30075]

Whilst I had the heavy duty headlight raiser upper spring off, I notice my crossbar had a fair
amount of play at both ends. It's been a long time since I had that bar off the car and I
can't remember what's inside. Does anyone have their bar off the car and can take a pic
of the inside at the end? Is this normal?

Greg, that does seem like too much play.

How did you take that video, isn't the radiator in the way?

Phil, I took the video through the grille opening (grille removed), shooting up to the crossbar connection
on the right hand side (passenger, US car). I think the large flange on the end of the bar
has a 1/4" hole in it to allow the pod pivot bolt to pass through and, if so, the hole is probably
quite worn, which is why I'm asking for a picture of the end of the bar.

Hi,

maybe these photos help as this what my bar looks like. As you can see it is literally a hollow tube with a nut welded on either end
