Key Features

• Monotube, single-tube construction for responsive damping control.

• Gas-charged design for consistent shock response.
• Includes a protective dust boot and durable mounting components.
• Upper bolt mount and stud-style rod end measuring point.

Detailed Description

Arnott eRide Adaptive Ride Control components are engineered for vehicles that rely on electronically managed suspension behavior. The SKE-5690 rear shock absorber uses a monotube design with active electronic damping to maintain controlled ride quality and stable handling across changing road conditions. For Audi A6 allroad, Audi S6, and Audi S7 Sportback applications, this rear shock is a direct service replacement for the specified electronic suspension setup.

The single-tube construction and gas-charged performance support repeatable damping response, while the included dust boot helps protect the shock assembly from road debris. The mounting configuration is defined by an upper bolt mount and a stud-style rod end measuring point, which is important when matching the correct rear suspension component for the vehicle.

What It Helps Solve

• Rear suspension noise caused by a worn electronic shock absorber.
• Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control.
• Uneven ride quality from a failing adaptive suspension unit.
• Handling instability during normal driving.
• Loss of comfort in electronically controlled rear suspension systems.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment and suspension equipment before installation. This shock absorber is specified for 2020-2025 Audi A6 allroad, Audi S6, and Audi S7 Sportback applications with eRide Adaptive Ride Control. Match the mounting style and electronic suspension configuration to the original unit before replacement.
