OEM Audi Shocks and Struts Online

What is the Role of Shocks and Struts?

Both of these parts play a role in your Audi vehicle's suspension system. They help control the movement of the wheels and maintain tire contact on the road. While they are part of the same system, they have distinct functions and characteristics. That means they're not interchangeable.

Shocks and Your Suspension

Shocks dampen the energy generated when a vehicle's wheels encounter irregularities in the road like bumps, potholes, and uneven surfaces. They're mounted near each wheel.

Struts and Your Suspension

Struts, like shocks, dampen the movement of the suspension, but they also provide support to the vehicle’s weight to help hold up the body of the Audi. They're found in the front suspension and used in conjunction with control arms or links.

How to Know When Your Shocks and Struts Are Going Bad

If your vehicle dives during braking, scrapes loudly going over a speed bump, the rear squats when accelerating, or your vehicle bounces more than usual over a bump, this could be signs of bad shocks or struts.
