Question Anyone need used pair of allroad OEM air shock and struts? SELLING CHEAP!!

Struts are fine, one of the air shocks has small leak, stays up while driving with no light but loses air overnight. Parts are from a 2004 allroad 2.7t with 65K miles. I believe parts fit model years 2001-2005.

Leaking air strut will soon lead to complete airbag failure; one two-inch pothole, will blow a gaping hole in the air bladder. I made that mistake twice, by buying used OEM Audi airbags. One had almost zero gas shock dampening/rebound and every small dip, road dot and chipseal junction sent teeth-jarring impacts throughout the car....traveling on the freeway SUCKED. One day - that 2" pothole over-compressed the bladder and blew it out, with a huge BANG!

Do us a favor and junk those things....please. It's either Arnott Gen1/2 or none.

Yes please junk. I was travelling at a well, nice pace when I hit that 2 inch pothole on the 405 one late evening.

I was lucky and had an Arnott back home in the garage - threw it on the next day. Its and "air" spring - wont last forever - can it.

Thanks

Well, what I would suggest you is, to get in touch with some used auto parts stores, that facilitates customers to buy and sell used components. I am sure; they would be able to provide you some good deal. Just search online to find them and choose the one that suits you the best.
