Arnott SKE-4380 Suspension Shock Absorber - Rear

Arnott eRide Rear Shock for Audi Q7

The Arnott SKE-4380 is a rear adaptive suspension shock absorber for 2017-2025 Audi Q7 models with eRide Adaptive Ride Control. It replaces the factory electronic damper and works with the vehicle’s suspension control system to restore consistent ride response, comfort, and handling.

Built as a direct-fit replacement for the rear left or rear right position, this Arnott eRide damper is assembled and tested for stable damping performance and long-term reliability. The plug-and-play design keeps factory electronics in place and maintains normal electronic damping adjustment.

The SKE-4380 is tuned to respond when the Audi control module commands damping changes, helping the Audi Q7 maintain the ride character expected from the original system. This part number, SKE-4380, is built for direct replacement service on the rear axle.
