Audi A4 B8 A5 8T Front Shock Absorber Strut Set 8K0413031AE - Used Original Parts

Quick Answer

When an Audi A4 B8, B8.5 or A5 8T has a floaty, bouncing or knocking front end and the front struts are worn or leaking, replacing the left and right pair together is the right fix. A tested used original strut set suits Malaysian owners who want factory Audi damping and fitment at a lower price than a new original part. It comes with the warranty stated in the quote.

Diagnosis and Common Symptoms

Front struts on the B8 platform wear gradually, so most owners notice the change only after the car starts to feel loose. Malaysian conditions (heat, heavy rain, potholes and speed bumps) speed up damper fatigue. Typical signs of a tired front strut set:

• The front end keeps bouncing after a speed bump or dip instead of settling in one movement.
• Nose dive under braking, or the car feels unsettled on the highway.
• A knocking or clunking noise from the front wheel arches over rough surfaces.
• Oil film on the strut body, or a damp, dirty damper tube.
• Uneven or cupped wear on the front tyres.
• More body roll in corners, or vague steering response.

Standard dampers do not store fault codes and do not light a dashboard warning, so diagnosis is physical: a bounce test, a visual check for leaks, and a look at the tyre wear pattern. Cars fitted with adaptive damping can show a suspension fault message, but that points to the electrical side. Confirm which damper system the car has before ordering. Because the left and right struts wear at a similar rate, we supply and recommend them as a pair.
