Audi A4 B8 8K 2010 Front Right Driver Sport Suspension Strut Assembly
Actual item photographed • Part-number checked from the physical label • Detailed fitment guidance designed to help you order correctly first time.
Suspension parts must not be selected from the model year alone. This item has been identified from the PHYSICAL PART LABEL as 8K0 413 031 BA / 8K0413031BA.
The damper reference is associated with Audi B8 sport suspension applications, but the complete photographed assembly also includes a coil spring, upper mounting assembly and right-hand lower fork. Spring rate / axle-load specification can vary between engines, drivetrain, equipment level and body configuration.
For the safest match: compare your old part number, brackets, spring identification marks and mounting geometry with these photographs, AND send your full 17-character VIN through eBay Messages if you require fitment verification before purchase.
These are photographs of the actual used assembly offered in this listing. Please inspect condition, brackets, mounting points, spring and identification label carefully.
Front-right suspension strut assembly as supplied.
Clearly shows 8K0 413 031 BA and SACHS identification.
Compare mounting design and spring identification markings.

| Vehicle / Platform | Year | Status | Required Checks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audi A4 B8 / 8K | 2010 donor | CONFIRMED LISTING / DONOR APPLICATION | Front right; match 8K0 413 031 BA, suspension configuration, spring marks, lower fork and mounting arrangement. |
| Audi A4 B8 / Audi S4 B8 | Other years | PART-NUMBER FAMILY MATCH — VIN CHECK REQUIRED | The 8K0413031BA damper is catalogued for A4/S4 sport-suspension applications. This does NOT automatically confirm the photographed complete spring assembly. Verify VIN, PR code and spring/load specification. |
| Audi A5 / S5 B8-family applications | Various | NOT ADVERTISED AS CONFIRMED COMPLETE-ASSEMBLY FITMENT | Some related catalogue data can show shared suspension components. Do not purchase this complete assembly for an A5/S5 unless the VIN and component specifications confirm the exact combination. |
Do not use where the vehicle catalogue specifies adaptive-control suspension for this location.
PR code 1BD is associated with this damper reference. Vehicles using another suspension PR code must be checked independently. Do not assume all "sport suspension" versions are identical.
If your existing damper or VIN lookup specifies a different number, do not buy solely because your vehicle is an Audi A4/S4 of a similar year.
The photographed lower assembly is listed as Front Right. Do not order this complete assembly when a left-front assembly is required.
Match the spring identification markings shown in the actual photographs. A different spring can indicate another axle-load / suspension specification.
Registration year alone is not enough. Production date, drivetrain, engine, body, option codes and suspension equipment can alter fitment.
Look for 8K0 413 031 BA / 8K0413031BA and photograph it clearly.
Check the lower fork, upper mounting bracket, spring diameter, spring markings and all mounting points against our actual item photographs.
This damper reference is associated with PR code 1BD.
If there is any uncertainty, send the full 17-character VIN through eBay Messages before ordering. VIN-based parts-catalogue confirmation is the safest final check.
This assembly is installed at the front-right corner of the vehicle's suspension. The upper portion is located in the suspension mounting area of the body, while the lower part connects into the front suspension through the fork / control-link area.
The coil spring supports vehicle load and allows vertical wheel movement. The shock absorber controls the spring's oscillation after bumps and road inputs, reducing uncontrolled bouncing and helping the tyre remain in more consistent contact with the road.
Correct damping is important for predictable steering response, braking stability, ride control and tyre contact. Suspension condition should always be considered as a complete system, including springs, mounts, bushes, control arms, tyres and wheel alignment.
A correctly matched factory component was engineered around the suspension geometry, damping requirements, mountings and option specification used by the vehicle manufacturer. The most important advantage is not the badge — it is being able to identify and match the exact physical component and part reference.
Physical Audi/SACHS identification and part number are visible on the actual item.
The original mounting arrangement can be compared directly with the customer's old component.
The correct suspension reference is matched against the vehicle's suspension specification, rather than selecting a universal-looking replacement.
A serviceable used factory part can offer substantial savings compared with purchasing a new equivalent. Exact savings vary by component and current market pricing.
Very low-cost pattern components can vary in design, calibration and manufacturing specification. Whichever replacement you choose, fitment and condition are more important than price alone.
| Vehicle lift or suitable jack and correctly rated axle stands | Essential |
| Wheel bolt socket and breaker bar | Essential |
| Professional metric socket / spanner set | Essential |
| Calibrated torque wrench | Essential |
| Suitable suspension / ball-joint separation equipment | As required |
| Suspension support stand / transmission jack | Recommended |
| Professional coil-spring compressor | Mandatory if dismantling the spring assembly |
| Penetrating fluid / corrosion-release equipment | Often useful on used vehicles |
| Wheel-alignment equipment | Workshop check recommended after suspension work |
A front Audi shock / strut replacement is commonly budgeted at approximately 1.5–3.0 labour hours, but actual time can increase due to corrosion, seized suspension hardware, additional worn components or alignment work. This is a planning guide rather than an Audi book-time quotation.
