Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut P/N:AS-5086
Bring firm, level support back to the rear-left corner with the Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut AS-2966, a complete remanufactured assembly built with OE-quality components. It's a direct-fit replacement for the rear-left position on the 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro and 2007-2010 Audi S8 — but only for vehicles equipped with Sport Suspension. An air suspension strut pairs the damper with an air spring to support the vehicle, maintain ride height, and control body motion; if the original has failed, this unit replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Signs the original strut may need replacing include a sagging rear corner, a harsh or bottoming ride, audible air leaks, or a compressor that runs frequently.
