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
