Arnott Industries AS-3369 front left air suspension strut for the 2006-2011 Audi A6 and other vehicles combines an air spring and a shock absorber at the front left wheel. This new assembly replaces the adaptive damping strut and converts the suspension from active to passive, and its sensor is designed to eliminate dash panel error messages.
- Multi-ply Continental ContiTech air spring sleeve protected by an aluminum can
- Custom-valved, velocity-sensitive shock absorber with progressive spring rate
- CNC-machined top mount made from aircraft-quality aluminum
- Seals, O-rings and bump stop, plus heavy-duty crimping rings, air fitting and connector valve
Quick facts
- Part: Arnott Industries AS-3369 air suspension strut
- Fits: the 2006-2011 Audi A6 and other vehicles
- Position: Front left
- Condition: New
A corner that sits low, a bouncy ride or a leaking air sleeve can mean the strut is worn, though other suspension or air-system parts can show similar symptoms. Before replacing it, look the front left strut over with the engine off for cracks in the sleeve or boot and for oil on the shock body. For best results, replace struts in pairs; this listing is one strut.
Fits
It fits the 2006-2011 Audi A6, the 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro and the 2007-2011 Audi S6.
