06' A8L suspension

[hunker7]

Hi all,

I've recently moved from a D2 LWB to a D3 LWB, and at this stage I cannot say I am impressed with the ride quality.

While suspension goes up/down and has no leaks or fault codes, it doesn't seem to be doing a very good job at ironing out the bumps. Any road imperfection is picked up and felt throughout the car.

I have followed "Suspension gone harsh since battery disconnect" with no luck.

Car is higher mileage (192k) but previous owner has taken great care of the car so that isn't really my concern.

Is it possible that the shock absorber part of the system has failed causing harsh ride?
