Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut P/N:AS-3165
Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut P/N:AS-3165
$1,294.99

Swap a leaking or worn front-left air strut for the Arnott Industries AS-3165 Air Suspension Strut, a complete, new assembly built with OE-quality components. It is designed to replace the OE strut on the 2003-2010 Porsche Cayenne, 2004-2010 Volkswagen Touareg and 2007-2015 Audi Q7. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

  • Custom-tuned shock absorber: Designed to provide an excellent ride and outstanding performance.
  • Converts adaptive to passive: Replaces an adaptive strut with a passive design.
  • Multi-ply Continental ContiTech air sleeve: Designed for enhanced strength and extended service life, with an aluminum can protecting the air spring.
  • CNC-machined top mount: Made from aircraft-quality aluminum.

The assembly also features Arnott's long-lasting seals, O-rings, a bump stop, heavy-duty crimping rings, an air fitting and a connector valve, plus a dust boot to help protect the air spring. It is engineered and assembled in the USA.

This listing is the front-left strut. For best results, Arnott recommends replacing struts in pairs, so plan to replace the front-right strut at the same time.

Signs an air strut may need replacing include a corner that sits low after parking, an audible air leak, a compressor that runs more than usual, or a bouncy ride. Air lines, valves and the compressor can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the strut.
