Detailed Product Information

FCS 86007 is specified for rear use on 2006-2013 Audi A3 and 2006-2013 Audi A3 Quattro models. The dimensional specs are important for suspension fitment because compressed length, extended length, and stroke determine how the part sits at ride height and how far it can travel through suspension movement. For buyers searching for a rear Audi A3 shock or strut-style replacement by size and fitment, these measurements help confirm the correct application before installation. The FCS brand line is used for replacement suspension parts, and this part number is listed for the rear position on the Audi A3 platform.

What This Part Helps Address

• Rear suspension noise caused by worn internal components
• Excessive bouncing or poor damping response
• Uneven rear ride control on Audi A3 and Audi A3 Quattro models
• Loss of suspension travel consistency from an aging rear unit
• Fitment issues when replacing a rear suspension component by exact length

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear position and compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original part before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2006-2013 Audi A3 or 2006-2013 Audi A3 Quattro with rear fitment only. For best results, inspect related suspension wear items and follow the vehicle service procedure for torque specifications and alignment checks after replacement. FCS 86007 should be matched to the exact rear application shown in the fitment data.
