- Positions: Right
- Other Names:
Suspension Strut Brace, Reinforcement
- Description:
Audi part number 1K0-809-072, the factory Suspension Strut Brace, controls wheel motion and isolates the body from road input, so its spring rate, damping, and bushing compliance set both ride quality and the alignment geometry the tires actually see. Every genuine Audi part is validated against the same specification as the original equipment component. Fitment varies by model year, trim, and option content, so verify before ordering.

Key Product Information
Additional Information
| SYMPTOMS | Common complaints that lead to 1K0-809-072 being replaced: clunking or rattling over bumps, a bouncy or floating ride, uneven or cupped tire wear, nose dive under braking, or a corner that sits visibly low. Symptoms vary by model year and option content, so confirm fitment before ordering. |
| TROUBLESHOOTING | Verify the fault before ordering 1K0-809-072: bounce test each corner, then inspect bushings for cracking and separation and look for oil film on damper bodies, and on air suspension compare individual corner heights with live data before replacing hardware. Compare against a known good side or a reference value wherever one is available. |
| INSTALLATION | Installation of part 1K0-809-072 requires suspended components to be torqued at ride height rather than with the arm hanging, otherwise the bushing is preloaded and will fail early. Follow the Audi repair manual procedure and torque specifications for the specific model and year. |
| MAINTENANCE | Ongoing maintenance where 1K0-809-072 is fitted is inspection based, checking bushings, boots, and ride height at each service and correcting alignment whenever a suspension component is disturbed. Use fluids and parts that meet the Audi specification for the vehicle. |
| GENERAL_NOTES | Before purchasing 1K0-809-072, note that sport, standard, and adaptive suspension packages use different part numbers, so confirm the PR code on the vehicle data label before ordering. This is a genuine Audi part supplied through the factory parts network. |
| REPLACEMENTS | Related parts to order with 1K0-809-072: mounts, bump stops, dust boots, and stretch bolts are replaced along with the primary component, and an alignment is required afterward. Most of the labor here is access, so replacing adjacent wear items now costs very little extra. |
