Bring back controlled damping and a composed front-end ride with the Arnott Industries Suspension Strut and Coil Spring Assembly SK-3842 (also written SK3842). This pre-assembled unit combines the strut and coil spring into one convenient, ready-to-install package, mounting in the front right position. It fits the 2009-2016 Audi A4, 2009-2016 Audi A4 Quattro (B8), 2008-2016 Audi A5, and 2008-2017 Audi A5 Quattro — for vehicles not equipped with adaptive dampers.
Passive strut design: Delivers the stability, handling, control, and comfort of the original OE strut without any external commands from the vehicle. Arnott engineers determined and tested the optimal internal strut settings to mimic OE performance.
Custom-valved: The strut valving is adapted to driving style.
Improved seals: Upgraded leak-preventing seals.
Engineered and assembled in the USA.
As a complete strut and coil spring assembly, it takes the guesswork out of the job — no separate spring compressor needed. Signs the original strut may need replacing include a bouncy or harsh ride, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the strut body. For best results, Arnott recommends replacing struts in pairs across the axle for balanced ride quality.
