Keep the rear suspension of your 2015-2020 Audi S3 riding like the factory setup with the Arnott Industries Suspension Shock Absorber, MPN MR-5368. This is a rear-position OES magnetic ride shock built to deliver the same highly adaptive damping as the original equipment unit, dropping in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Magnetically controlled damping: A monotube damper filled with magnetorheological fluid — a synthetic hydrocarbon oil carrying easily magnetized iron particles — for precision-tuned, adaptive ride control.
Two electromagnetic coils: Housed inside the damper, they instantly change the bonds between the magnetized iron particles, altering the fluid's viscosity and the suspension's stiffness when energized.
Plug-and-play electronics: Arnott's universal magnetic ride shock connects to the vehicle's ECU with no modifications.
OES design and components: Engineered to match the adaptive behavior of the OE shock.
Worn shocks can show up as excess body float, harsher impacts, or reduced ride control; if a failed rear shock is the cause, this replaces it. For best results, replace in pairs. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicle does this shock fit?
It is a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the 2015-2020 Audi S3. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact fitment for your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear shock?
This is a rear-position shock absorber. It is a magnetic ride (OES) unit designed to replace the original rear damper on the listed applications.
How does the magnetic ride shock work?
It uses a monotube damper filled with magnetorheological fluid. Two electromagnetic coils change the bond between magnetized iron particles, altering the fluid's viscosity and the suspension's stiffness.
Do I need to modify anything to install it?
No. Arnott's universal magnetic ride shock connects to the vehicle's ECU with no modifications required.
Should I replace one shock or both?
For best results, it is recommended to replace shocks in pairs so both sides deliver consistent, balanced ride control.
