One problem related to front suspension upper arm has been reported for the 1997 Audi A4. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Control arm failure, front passenger side. Resulted in loss of steering control and veering into a curb, damaging the vehicle ($2000+), insurance would not cover the failed part (esurance). It was extremely fortunate that I was going only 35 mph, that no one was standing or driving where I hit that curb.
