Detailed Description

Arnott AS-2966 is a remanufactured air suspension strut engineered for the rear left side of the Audi A8 Quattro and Audi S8 with sport suspension. This assembly is built around a custom air spring bladder that replaces the original reservoir layout, while retaining the air ride and damping characteristics needed for the D3 chassis platform. The strut is remanufactured, tested, cleaned, repainted, and rebuilt in the USA using heavy-duty crimping rings, new O-rings, a new connector valve, a bump stop, and a dust cover. This part number, AS-2966, is intended for vehicles with sport suspension only and cross-references Audi service part numbers including 4E0616001A and 4E0616001F for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension sag on air-equipped Audi A8 or S8 models
• Uneven ride height at the rear left corner
• Air spring leakage from a worn strut assembly
• Loss of damping control or inconsistent ride response
• Noise or contamination from a deteriorated boot or internal components
