Purpose and vehicle placement

The stopper is designed for installation on the front doors on either the left or right side, allowing for flexible use of the component during repairs on both the driver and passenger sides. The component works with the factory hinges and door lock, and is responsible for:

• controlling the door opening range,
• holding the door in selected positions,
• damping sudden movements during opening and closing.

This solution improves the comfort of daily vehicle use and reduces the load acting on the hinges and door skin.

Construction and technical function

The door stopper works in a system with the hinges and lock, creating a coherent mechanism responsible for the safe opening and closing of the door. The component's construction was designed by the vehicle manufacturer to:

• ensure repeatable, predictable resistance during door movement,
• minimize noise and vibration when changing position,
• protect the bodywork against excessive door panel swing.

As a result, the stopper supports stable operation of the entire door assembly, which is important for both comfort and body durability.

Benefits of using an original stopper

Using an original door stopper in an Audi A5, S5, or RS5 F5 allows you to maintain the factory operating parameters of the mechanism. In practice, this means:

• proper fitment with the mounts in the door and pillar,
• no need for modifications or adjustments to mounting holes,
• preservation of the door opening angles specified by the manufacturer.

The used OEM component is a compromise between quality and cost – the original construction ensures the correct operating characteristics while allowing you to reduce expenses compared to a new part.

Part selection by OEM number and condition

The product comes from the Gas springs, locks, hinges, and other parts group, making it designed to work in the demanding operating environment of car doors. The used condition of the element allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original design specification.
