Arnott AS-3130 Air Suspension Strut - Rear Left

Rear Left Air Suspension Strut for Bentley and VW

Arnott AS-3130 is a new aftermarket air suspension strut for the rear left side of select Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur models, plus the Volkswagen Phaeton D1 chassis. It replaces worn OE air struts with a design built around a premium Eibach damper and a progressive spring rate for controlled, responsive ride quality.

Key Features

• New, not remanufactured, rear left air suspension strut
• Premium Eibach damper with hydraulic internal damping
• Elongated piston design for improved ride quality without the OE reservoir
• Multi-ply cross-axis air sleeve with aluminum can and dust cover
• CNC-machined top mount made from aircraft-quality aluminum
• Tier 1 components including O-rings, bump stop, heavy-duty crimping rings, airline fitting, and connector valve
• Air adjustable design with progressive spring rate
• Mounting hardware included

Detailed Description

AS-3130 is engineered by Arnott as a direct replacement air suspension strut for the rear left position on the 2003-2018 Bentley Continental, 2013-2019 Bentley Flying Spur, and 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton. The NEW product line focuses on replacement components built to modern standards, and this strut follows that approach with a custom-tuned Eibach damper and a durable air sleeve assembly. Arnott AS-3130 is assembled in the USA and uses a clevis lower mount, stud upper mount, and integrated protective boot for a clean OE-style installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear suspension sag on Bentley Continental GT or Flying Spur models
• Air leaks from a worn rear left air strut assembly
• Excessive bouncing, harshness, or reduced damping control
• Uneven ride height at the rear left corner
• Noise or instability caused by aging air spring components
