Audi A3 Shock Absorber
The Audi A3 Shock Absorber works by converting bumps into heat energy to help keep the hatchback or sedan stable, giving the passengers a smooth ride and the driver the belief that the car is under control. Installed next to the spring in the suspension, this Shock Absorber contains a sealed tube filled with oil and a piston that slides through this fluid to convert the action of the wheels into heat that rapidly dissipates, reducing bouncing and reducing the time the tire is off the road surface. Over the years Audi has been dependent on two major hydraulic arrangements. The common twin-tube type, found on most Audi compacts, places an inner working cylinder within an outer reserve cylinder and can be gas charged to reduce foaming during hard turns. The A3 performance-based models in the Audi added a monotube version in which the working and reserve spaces are positioned end to end in one larger body, which enables rapid heat dissipation, quicker response and installation in virtually any position. The new cuts in the line have shaved off some adaptive features, which measured position or acceleration and automatically changed damping to ensure that the Shock Absorber softened on any potholes but hardened when it was time to change lanes. No matter which version, every Shock Absorber is paired with the coil spring as the initial protection against body roll and harshness without losing the direct steering feel the owners like in an Audi.

Audi A3 Shock Absorber Parts and Q&A
- Q: How can the removal of the suspension strut be performed while leaving the wheel bearing housing in place on the shock absorber on Audi A3?A:The suspension strut removal may also be done with a wheel bearing housing left in place although both may be removed simultaneously. You can start by peeling off the trim or hub cap on the wheel and loosen the retaining bolt on the driveshaft no more than 90 degrees so as to not harm the wheel bearing after which loosen the wheel bolts. Having applied the handbrake jack up the front of the vehicle and keep it steady on the axle stands and remove the relevant roadwheel. Take the strut that is connected to the anti-roll bar off and loosen the ABS sensor wiring. Disassemble the driveshaft holding bolt and screw up the lower arm-to-lower balljoint holding nuts, pushing the lower arm downward to unscrew the lower balljoint studs. In case the driveshaft is tight, a puller can be required. Indicate the orientation of the wheel bearing housing and then loosen the clamp bolt which attaches it to the strut. In order to free the wheel bearing housing, apply to the clamp a special tool or other approved substitute to open it, and then support the housing without undue strain to the hydraulic brake hose. Take out the wiper arms, plenum chamber cover, labeling the strut upper mounting so that they can be fitted back. To loosen, in the case of overhaul, the upper mounting center nut, but retain the piston rod and then support the strut with one hand, and loosen the upper mounting bolts with the other so as to lower the upper mounting center. Wipe the strut and install a spring compressor to relieve coil spring tension and then take out the upper center retaining nut and rest of the parts. Inspect every component regarding wear or damage including checking the strut whether it is leaking fluid and functioning properly. Check coil spring and check whether it is distorted and replace it. Install the bump stop, upper bearing race and protective sleeve and install the coil spring on the strut. Install the thrust bearing and upper mounting, and screw the new retaining nut with a given torque. Install the strut under the wheel arch, positioned according to the position mentioned above and use the bolts. Install the plenum chamber cover and wiper arms again and then connect the strut to the wheel bearing housing correctly. Install the new strut-to-wheel bearing housing bolt and screw the retaining nut. Reconnect the lower arm to the balljoint, attach driveshaft and install the new hub bolt by hand tightening it first. Fit the lower arm balljoint again and screw in the nuts, and re-fit the ABS wheel sensor. Before refitting the roadwheel, ensure that the outer joint is well engaged in the hub. As the assistant lowers the brake pedal, screw in the retaining bolt of the driveshaft as per the specifications and take care not to do this when the vehicle is on the wheels. Lastly, get the vehicle down and screw-clamp the bolts of the roadwheel, and replace the wheel trim or hub cap.
- Q: What steps should be followed to renew self-locking nuts and bolts and replace a shock absorber on Audi A3?A:All self-locking nuts and bolts disturbed on removal must be renewed as a matter of course. Before removing the shock absorber, an idea of its effectiveness can be gained by depressing the rear corner of the car; if the shock absorber is in good condition, the body should rise and then settle in its normal position, while excessive oscillation indicates a defect. To ensure even rear suspension, both rear shock absorbers should be renewed simultaneously. Chock the front roadwheels, jack up the rear of the vehicle, and support it on axle stands before removing the relevant rear roadwheel. Remove the wheel arch liner, then position a trolley jack and block of wood beneath the coil spring position on the Trailing Arm, raising the arm slightly to compress the shock absorber. On some models, it may be necessary to remove the stone protection guard first, and the rear coil spring may be removed completely if preferred. Unscrew the lower mounting bolt, followed by the upper mounting bolts, and withdraw the shock absorber. With the shock absorber on the bench, remove the cap, unscrew the nut from the top of the piston rod, and take off the upper mounting bracket, bump stop, and, where fitted, the support ring, protective tube, and protective cap. Two types of bump stop are supplied: a short version with a support ring and a long version without one. If necessary, check the action of the shock absorber by mounting it upright in a vice, fully depressing the rod, and then pulling it up; the piston rod must move smoothly over its complete length. To refit, locate the components removed from the top of the shock absorber in their correct order and screw on a new nut, tightening it and fitting the cap. Position the shock absorber in the rear wheel arch, insert the upper mounting bolts, and tighten to the specified torque. Extend the shock absorber if necessary, and insert the lower mounting bolt loosely. Raise the trailing arm until the rear suspension is set to the correct ride height, then fully tighten the shock absorber lower mounting bolt. Refit the rear coil spring, the wheel arch liner, and the roadwheel before lowering the vehicle to the ground.
