Bilstein B1 strut support bearing — 12-228720

Collection: Audi A6 Suspension Parts

The Audi A6 spans five generations: C4 (1994–1997), C5 (1997–2004), C6 (2004–2011), C7 (2011–2018), and C8 (2018–present). Front strut design and rear multilink geometry evolved at every generation; quattro (AWD) and Avant (estate) variants can use different rear shock mount heights. Find your generation identifier — C4 through C8 — from the model code in the service documentation or the data sticker in the driver's door jamb.

How to choose

The Bilstein B4 is the preferred OE-comparable replacement for a high-mileage C5 or C6 used as a motorway cruiser. The B6 suits the A6 driver who wants a tighter, more responsive feel. Tein coilovers fit drivers who want to lower the C5 or C6 for a more aggressive stance.
