Quick facts
- Part: Arnott Industries AS-2560 air suspension strut
- Fits: 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro
- Position: Front right
- Condition: Remanufactured
A corner that sits low, a bouncy ride or cracks in the rubber bladder can mean the strut is worn. These signs alone do not prove the strut is the problem, since a leaking air line can also leave a corner low. The car takes one strut on each side of the front axle. This listing is the front right; the front left is ordered separately, and fitting the two together gives the best results.
Fits
This strut is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro and is only for cars without Sport Suspension.
