Help control body roll and address rear-suspension noise with the Beck/Arnley sway bar link 101-6742. This rear stabilizer end link ties the rear stabilizer bar to the suspension so the bar can do its job. It installs as an application-specific, direct replacement for a broad range of Audi models, including the 2009-2015 A4, 2009-2017 Q5, 2012-2018 A6 Quattro, 2008-2017 S5, and 2014-2017 SQ5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 18 applications.
If a worn or failed rear link is the source of your knocking, rattling, or loose handling over bumps, this replaces it. Because those symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the suspension before ordering.
