Detailed Description

SK-3843 is engineered as a complete coil strut assembly for the front left side of 2008-2016 Audi A5 and A5 Quattro, plus 2009-2016 Audi A4 and A4 Quattro applications listed below. It uses a passive suspension design, so it does not rely on adaptive damping controls. Arnott’s internal tuning is set to mirror OE performance characteristics for everyday driving, steering response, and ride quality.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The Arnott SK-3843 is a direct replacement choice when servicing the front left suspension on Audi A4/A4 Quattro (B8) and Audi A5/A5 Quattro models with non-adaptive dampers.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end bounce or reduced damping control
• Noisy or worn strut and spring components
• Uneven ride height from fatigued suspension parts
• Excessive body movement during braking and cornering
• Ride quality loss on Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A5, and A5 Quattro models
