- Fits: 1997-2016 Audi A4 and other vehicles

A floaty or bouncy ride, nose dive when braking, or an oily film on the strut body can mean a strut is worn. With the engine off and cool, look over the strut body for that film first, because a worn mount or spring may give a similar ride and is worth ruling out before you replace the strut. This listing is one front strut, and both front sides are normally replaced together.
Fits
This strut fits the 1997-2016 Audi A4 and the 2000-2009 Audi A4 Quattro. The quantity is two per car, one for each front side.
