New Electronic Shock Absorber

SKE-4380 — Arnott Rear Electronic eRide Shock

The SKE-4380 Arnott rear electronic eRide shock is engineered for the Audi Q7 (4M) equipped with standard suspension systems. Designed to integrate with the vehicle’s electronic damping controls, this direct-fit solution helps restore ride comfort, handling, and suspension

Compatible Applications:

  • 2017→ Audi Q7 (4M) Standard Suspension without GP0

What Is an Electronic eRide Shock Absorber?

eRide Electronic shock absorbers use electronically controlled damping technology to automatically adjust suspension firmness based on driving conditions, vehicle movement, and road inputs.

These systems help improve:

  • Ride comfort
  • Vehicle stability
  • Cornering performance
  • Driver control
  • Overall suspension responsiveness

When an electronic shock absorber fails, drivers may notice reduced ride quality, excessive bouncing, suspension warning lights, or inconsistent handling characteristics.

Replacing worn electronic dampers helps restore intended suspension performance and comfort.

New Ride Height Sensors

RH-5681 — Front Right Ride Height Sensor

The RH-5681 front right ride height sensor is designed for select GM T1 platform SUVs and trucks equipped with advanced suspension systems. This direct-fit sensor helps restore accurate ride height monitoring and proper suspension system communication.

Compatible Applications:

  • 2021→ Various GM SUVs (T1)
  • 2023→ Various GM Trucks (T1)

RH-5682 — Front Left Ride Height Sensor

The RH-5682 front left ride height sensor provides OE-style fitment and functionality for select GM T1 applications. Engineered to support proper suspension calibration and vehicle leveling, this sensor helps maintain intended ride characteristics and system operation.

Compatible Applications:

  • 2021→ Various GM SUVs (T1)
  • 2023→ Various GM Trucks (T1)

What is a Ride Height Sensor?

A ride height sensor measures the position of a vehicle’s suspension and sends that information to the suspension control module. In air suspension and adaptive suspension systems, ride height sensors help determine how the vehicle should adjust ride height, damping, and leveling functions.

When a ride height sensor fails, drivers may experience:

  • Suspension warning messages
  • Uneven ride height
  • Improper leveling
  • Reduced ride comfort
  • Fault codes within the suspension system

Replacing a faulty sensor helps restore accurate suspension data and proper system operation.

New Valve Blocks

VB-5147 — RAPA OES Valve Block

The VB-5147 RAPA OES valve block is engineered for Mercedes-Benz applications equipped with advanced air suspension systems. This component manages airflow distribution throughout the suspension system to help maintain proper ride height and ride quality.

Compatible Applications:

  • 2013-2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (C217/W222)
  • 2013-2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205), including AMG models

VB-5644 — RAPA OES Valve Block

The VB-5644 RAPA OES valve block is designed for a range of modern Audi applications equipped with adaptive air suspension systems. Built to OE specifications, this valve block helps ensure proper air management and suspension functionality.

Compatible Applications:

  • 2018→ Audi A6 / A6 Allroad (C8)
  • 2017→ Audi A7 (4K)
  • 2017→ Audi A8 (D5)
  • 2021→ Audi Q8 e-tron (GE)
  • 2018→ Audi Q5 (FY)

What Does an Air Suspension Valve Block Do?

An air suspension valve block controls how compressed air moves throughout the suspension system. Working together with the compressor, air springs, and control module, the valve block directs airflow to individual suspension components to maintain proper ride height and vehicle balance.

Common signs of a failing valve block may include:

  • Uneven vehicle height
  • Slow suspension response
  • Suspension sagging
  • Compressor overcycling
  • Air suspension warning lights

Replacing a worn or malfunctioning valve block can help restore proper air distribution and suspension performance.
