Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before purchase, confirm your vehicle is an Audi A4 B6, as this part is model-specific. Proper installation is critical for safety because these components are under high pressure.
- Preparation: Secure the tailgate in the fully open position using a prop or an assistant to prevent it from falling during the swap.
- Removal: Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the retaining clips on the old strut mounts.
- Installation: Snap the new Febi strut into the existing ball studs. Ensure the orientation matches the original factory position.
- Care: Keep the strut shaft clean and free of debris or paint, as damage to the shaft seal can lead to premature pressure loss.
