A sagging corner, a bouncy or harsh ride, an air leak or an adaptive-damping fault can mean a worn strut. The air compressor, the air lines or the level sensors can be behind these signs too, so find the cause before buying. Replace the pair together for best results; this listing is one strut.

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro. The car takes one on each side of the rear axle, so the rear left strut is ordered separately.
