Why this upgrade makes sense

If your original adaptive front shock is tired, knocking or no longer controlling rebound properly, this B6 DampTronic nearside strut restores crisp damping and works seamlessly with your car’s electronic ride modes. Expect better high-speed stability, flatter cornering and a calmer, more composed ride on broken tarmac. Ideal for daily commuting, enthusiastic weekend drives and motorway miles.
