Air suspension strut design
In the case of the quattro suspension strut,
the connection/seal between the air spring
(piston) and the damper is made via a double-
sealed bayonet connector.
The bayonet connector must be absolutely
clean and is greased before assembly with a
special lubricant (see Workshop Manual).
It is assembled by pushing on and rotating
the air spring.
Always check for leaks on the O-ring
seals at the marked positions. The
sealing surfaces must be clean, free
from corrosion and pitting (aluminium
parts) and greased as required (see
Workshop Manual).
