Detailed Description

• Restoration of front suspension response on listed vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and front-position application before ordering. For 2011-2018 Audi A1, this listing excludes sport suspension. Compare the original strut’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to confirm match before installation. Always inspect related suspension components, alignment settings, and mounting points during service.
