Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented set of buffers operates in the rear body zone, where it is responsible for the proper support and cushioning of the tailgate. Properly selected buffers:

• stabilize the position of the lid when closed,
• reduce the transmission of vibrations to the body,
• decrease noise when driving over uneven surfaces,
• support even closing of the trunk lid.

As a result, the lid operates predictably, and the body lines maintain proper alignment, which is important for both comfort and the durability of the bodywork components.

Application in Audi models

The buffer set has been designed for the tailgate construction of Audi A3 8V and Audi Q3 8U models. This means that the geometry and mounting method are matched to the factory mounting points, which facilitates the replacement of worn components without the need for modifications.

In practice, this translates into:

• secure seating of the lid in the closed position,
• maintenance of factory gaps between body elements,
• consistent operation with the existing lock and tailgate actuators.

Set characteristics and installation

The offered product includes a set of two buffers, which allows for the simultaneous replacement of both tailgate support points. Replacing the pair of elements is recommended as it ensures symmetrical operation of the lid and even distribution of loads.

The components are prepared for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the locations provided by the manufacturer. In most cases, installation is limited to removing the worn buffers and seating the new ones in the same points, which shortens service time and reduces the risk of installation errors.

Product condition and benefits of choosing OE parts

The offered buffer set comes from the group of used parts, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing an OE component ensures compatibility in shape, material hardness, and operating method with the factory design assumptions.

The main advantages of using original buffers in the rear body zone include:

• consistency with the existing lid and body structure,
• predictable behavior when opening and closing the trunk,
• reduction of unwanted knocking and play in the tailgate area.

Support with selection and trunk area upgrades
