Audi Magnetic Shock Absorber

3 items

Magnetic shock absorbers must match the vehicle's installed magnetic ride system and wheel position. Compare electrical connections and mounting details, then determine whether the repair calls for a shock, strut or complete assembly. The parts included can differ between replacements.

Matching Magnetic Ride Shocks To The Suspension

A magnetic shock absorber must match the vehicle's suspension system as well as its installation position. On some GM vehicles, an RPO code identifies the relevant equipment: one A-Premium application specifies Z95 MagneRide suspension. Codes and their meaning depend on the vehicle, so use the option information for the specific application.

A matching body style or an electrical connector alone does not establish that a shock is correct for the installed suspension. Some products also have build-date or body-configuration restrictions.

Magnetic Shocks, Struts And Complete Assemblies

The collection includes magnetic-ride shocks and struts in different configurations. A separate shock controls suspension movement; a strut also forms a structural part of the suspension. A complete strut assembly may include additional components such as a spring, while an individual unit has a narrower repair scope.

Choose the form used by the vehicle and note whether the listing supplies a single unit or a pair. Front and rear parts, and left and right parts where specified, can have different mounting arrangements.

Electronic Damping And Air Suspension

An electronically controlled damper adjusts damping as part of the vehicle's suspension system. Air suspension uses pressurized air for load support or ride-height control. Some vehicles combine features of both systems, but those terms do not mean the same component or the same replacement part.

Check the suspension configuration and the electrical and, where applicable, air connections for the part being replaced. The presence of a sensor or a spring in one package does not establish that it is included with another.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does every magnetic ride shock include a sensor?

Sensor and electrical contents vary by product. A shock may connect to the vehicle's existing control system without supplying every related sensor. Compare the included parts and connection requirements with the component being replaced.

Do magnetic shocks have to be replaced in pairs?

The repair depends on the vehicle's service procedure, the condition of each unit and the package being purchased. For certain Z95 applications, GM directs technicians to diagnose shocks individually and replace a pair only when both are confirmed faulty. A two-piece package describes the sale quantity, not a universal repair rule.

Why might a suspension warning remain after a shock is replaced?

A warning can involve the electrical connection or another part of the control system. GM has documented an incompletely seated shock connector on certain MagneRide vehicles, so the connector and diagnostic information should be checked rather than assuming the new shock is faulty.

Can a matching plug alone confirm the correct shock?

Connector shape is only one part of the match. The shock must also suit the installed suspension system, its position and the stated vehicle application; electronically controlled dampers can use different designs.

How does magnetic ride control change damping?

In a GM magnetic ride system, an electrical coil acts on fluid containing small metal particles inside the damper. Changing the current changes the fluid's resistance and the damping force. Other electronically controlled suspension designs may use different mechanisms.

What are magnetic shock absorbers?

Magnetic shock absorbers leverage magnetorheological fluids to provide adaptive damping, optimizing ride comfort and handling. A reliable magnetic shock absorber source is key for seamless suspension restoration.
