Common Applications
This heavy-duty bolt is primarily utilized in the front and rear suspension systems across a wide range of modern Audi platforms (including the B9/C8 generations such as the A4, S4, A5, S5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, SQ5, Q7, Q8, and e-tron models). Depending on your vehicle's specific layout and suspension type (e.g., standard suspension vs. air suspension), it typically serves as:
The front lower control arm bolt
The suspension strut fork/mount bolt (retaining the lower shock/strut fork)
An outer bushing or suspension guide bolt
Important Service Note
Because this is a critical structural suspension fastener, it is typically designated by Audi as a torque-to-yield (stretch) bolt. As a result, it stretching permanently upon installation and cannot be safely reused.
