Product Information

Audi Air Suspension diagram for S6, S7

An air suspension strut is a key component in vehicles equipped with air suspension systems. It combines a traditional shock absorber with an air spring (a rubber bladder filled with pressurized air). The strut supports the vehicle’s weight, absorbs road impacts, and adjusts ride height for comfort and handling. Over time, the air bladder, seals, or internal shock can wear out, leading to ride and handling issues.

• Sagging or uneven ride height – one corner or the entire vehicle sits lower than normal.
• Rough or bouncy ride – poor damping from a worn shock or air bladder leak.
• Air compressor overuse – system runs constantly to compensate for air leaks in the strut.

About Genuine Audi

The original parts used by Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Audi” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the Audi Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
