- Fits: 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro and other vehicles

Replacing the front pair together gives the best results, and this listing is one strut, so the front right is ordered on its own. A corner that sits low, a bouncy or harsh ride, or a leaking bladder can mean this strut is worn, though the air compressor or a ride height sensor can be behind the same signs.
Fits
It fits the 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro and the 2007-2010 Audi S8. This strut is only for vehicles with Sport Suspension.
