Product Details

Arnott’s NEW product line focuses on replacement air suspension components built as complete assemblies rather than rebuilt units. The AS-3165 follows that approach with a new shock body, progressive spring rate, and durable air spring construction for the front left corner. It is assembled in the USA and uses long-lasting seals and protective components to help maintain air spring integrity in daily driving conditions.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The Arnott AS-3165 is a direct-fit replacement for the front left air strut used on Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, and Volkswagen Touareg platforms with air ride suspension.

What It Helps Solve

  • Front-left suspension sag or loss of ride height
  • Air spring leaks that trigger compressor overwork
  • Rough, uneven, or unstable ride quality
  • Noise or reduced damping from a worn OE strut
  • Ride-height control issues on air suspension vehicles
