IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTES - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
This part is only for vehicles equipped with the factory air suspension system.
This part is for the Front Left (Driver's Side) ONLY. It will not fit the right side. For the Front Right side, you need a part from the ...040 family (e.g., 3D0616040 or 3W0616040).
This strut fits the first-generation Bentley Continental GT (approx. 2003-2012) and Flying Spur (2005-2013). It WILL NOT FIT the second-generation Continental models (from 2012/2013 onwards) which use a different suspension design.
We strongly recommend verifying your vehicle's original part number against our extensive list before ordering to ensure correct fitment. The part number is typically located on a white sticker on the body of the strut.
If you have any doubts about compatibility, please contact us with your vehicle's VIN before purchasing to guarantee a perfect fit.
