Smooth out the ride and keep your front suspension planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Front Suspension Strut 71335. This front strut drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2004 Audi A6, 2000-2004 Audi A6 Quattro, and 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat, combining ride control with vibration isolation designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability.
Twin Technology Active Control System: delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
Rod-displaced valving: tuned to the application and adjusts to road extremes for a consistent, smooth ride (on most applications).
Nitrogen gas charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact and reduce aeration for improved ride and handling (on most applications).
PTFE-banded piston: provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube for better control and durability.
OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown, while the chrome-plated piston, bronze-reinforced rod guide bearing and special single-lip seal support longer service life (where applicable). An optional protective dust boot and jounce bumper are sold separately. If worn front struts are the cause of your excessive bounce or poor ride control, this replaces them. Sold individually — replace both sides as a matched pair for balanced handling. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Is this a front or rear strut?

It's sold individually. Replacing both front struts as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control and handling, though not strictly required.

Excessive bouncing, poor ride control, or unstable handling can be signs of worn struts. Have the suspension diagnosed, since these symptoms can have other causes.
