Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut P/N:AS-3074
Support proper ride height and controlled damping at the front-right corner with the Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut AS-2560 (also written AS2560), a complete air strut assembly that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro. This unit fits the FRONT RIGHT position and is only for vehicles without Sport Suspension. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Arnott completely rebuilds these OE air struts for A8 Quattro sedans, pairing a rubber air spring bladder manufactured by Continental ContiTech with a CNC-machined aluminum upper housing — an efficient, more affordable alternative to the dealership assembly.
For best results it is recommended to replace air struts in pairs for balanced ride height and damping. Signs an original front air strut may need replacing include a sagging or uneven corner, a harsh ride, or an air-suspension warning — diagnose the cause before replacing.
