Rear Shock Absorber Kit for Audi A4 and A5

This Unity kit supplies two nitrogen gas-charged shock absorbers designed as direct OE replacements for the rear suspension. It covers 2009-2016 Audi A4 and A4 Quattro models as well as 2008-2016 Audi A5 and A5 Quattro models. The twin-tube construction targets a trouble-free installation and long-lasting reliability.

Twin-tube gas-charged design for daily driving

The two shocks restore factory ride height and damping control on the listed Audi applications. They handle normal road loads and commuting demands without the complexity of adjustable valving. The kit does not address front suspension needs or vehicles outside the specified model years.

Bolts to existing rear mounting points

Installation reuses the vehicle's original hardware and bracket locations, so no fabrication or specialised tooling is required beyond standard brake repair tools. The paired set simplifies parts sourcing by covering both rear corners in one package. Buyers needing front shocks or different model coverage must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the Unity 2-257050-001 kit fit the original rear suspension on my 2016 Audi A5 Quattro?

Yes, the kit is listed for 2008-2016 Audi A5 and A5 Quattro models, so it matches the original rear suspension on your 2016 vehicle.

How can I verify the nitrogen gas-charged shocks are working correctly after installation?

After fitting, check that the rear sits level, the damping feels firm but controlled over bumps, and there are no fluid leaks or unusual noises from the new shocks.

Does the Unity 2-257050-001 package contain everything needed for a complete rear shock replacement?

The kit includes two nitrogen gas-charged shock absorbers; you will need to supply mounting hardware, bushings and any required tools separately.
