Product Description

The Bilstein 19-281353 is a B4 OE Replacement front shock absorber engineered specifically for the 2018-2025 Audi Q5, Q5 PHEV, and Q5 Sportback equipped with standard, non-adaptive suspension. Featuring a twin-tube, gas pressurized spring-bearing damper design, this shock restores factory ride comfort, handling, and safety, meeting or exceeding original equipment standards for a direct, like-new replacement.

This is a standard, non-electronic shock and is not designed for vehicles equipped with the factory adaptive damping suspension option (which uses electromagnetically actuated CDC valves on quattro versions) or the more elaborate adaptive air suspension available on some variants. The wiring harness exit point and connector on this shock do not match the factory adaptive damper's sensor harness location, so installing this shock on an adaptive-equipped Q5 would require a separate bypass solution to satisfy the vehicle's electronic chassis control unit.

This shock is intended for Q5 owners with standard, non-adaptive suspension looking to restore original handling, comfort, and performance from a worn or failing factory shock. It is not recommended for use with lowering springs, and the series production spring seat must be used during installation. Some parts of this system are not legal for use in California or other states with similar laws and regulations; backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
