Car feels new again
My A7 4G needed this doing at 107k miles. Top mounts and bearings went on at the same time while it was apart. The rod is properly finished with no machining marks and the seal is clean. Result is it tracks straight on the motorway instead of wandering.

Night and day difference
Second one of these I have bought, this time for the RS4 B7. Top mounts and bearings went on at the same time while it was apart. The paint and plating look like they will survive a few winters of salt. Result is body roll through roundabouts is properly controlled again.

Crashing over potholes has stopped
Went on my A6 C7 1.4 TFSI at 107k miles. The rod is properly finished with no machining marks and the seal is clean. The garage did the pair and the alignment came back within spec straight away. Result is sharp expansion joints no longer send a bang through the cabin.

Leaked within a month
Replacement for my 2020 S3 8V 3.0 TFSI V6. One unit was visibly weeping oil down the body within a few weeks. Would not order the same one again.

Correct damping rate
Second one of these I have bought, this time for the Q5 FY. The rod is properly finished with no machining marks and the seal is clean. The garage did the pair and the alignment came back within spec straight away. Result is sharp expansion joints no longer send a bang through the cabin.
