Anyone know of a stiffer sway option for our Q7's? Wondering if there is a difference between the Q7 and SQ7 sways.. I would assume there would be.

If someone knows of a good site to research this I can do the grunt work, just not up to date on Audi parts sites like I am BMW sites.

well the SQ7 will have electro-hyrdaulic sways, but i think thats part of a sports package. So who know if the stock sways will be as the standard. That would be cool tho. I hope the air suspension programming can be copied over to the standard Q7 air suspension

Yea, the base model without the fancy air suspension is what I am trying to figure out. I would think it would have a slightly larger sway bar for a tighter feeling but I can't seem to find a good site that has both Q7 and SQ7 options or parts details to find numbers.

Might take someone from Europe to help me figure this out....

I am not 100% sure about this information because I was just looking through the parts system of Q7. But this is what I found:

US model with Air bag suspension PR-1BK comes with Anti-Roll Bar 4M0411305A

PR-2MA - 4 Corner Air Suspension with electronic shock absorption control sports version
PR-2MB - 4 Corner Air Suspension with electronic shock absorption control
(Assuming these are sport package)

comes with 4M0411305B.

Also there is PR-1P7 - Suspension for ambulance??
-Anti-roll bar, for vehicles with electronic roll stabilisation comes with 4M0411023Q.


According to ESC Tuning, Anti-Roll bar A and B is same price. Once again I am not sure if this is right parts or not for the sport version. If you would like to try it out, please let me know. I am also interested in it. Lol..

Reading further.. Seems like 1BA - Standard Suspension and 1BK - Air bag suspension shares same anti-roll bar.

I guess I was looking at Front Anti-Roll Bar. But rear axle is same.

4M0511305AL - 22.5mm for both 1BA and 1BK
4M0511305AM - 23.6mm for sport and hybrid.

Seems like the sport version is thicker?

Doesn't the SQ7 come with the active 48 Volt bars? Like the ones in the Bentley?

Anyone has arrived to some conclusion on this?

SQ7 has 12V and 48V electric systems in paralel. And 2 batteries as well. 48V system is used for operating electric turbine (works on low revs to eliminate turbo-lag) and to operate stiffer sways. So I would say, not a simple task to install those stffer sways from SQ7.

In Europe, there are 2 versions of adaptive air suspensions available on Q7. Ordinary and Sport. My Q7, as it has S-line sport package, automaticaly comes with this Sport air suspension, but you can order it apart from S-line sport package as well, it will cost around 300 usd more compared to ordinary adaptive air suspension. Suppose, parts that are being compared, are from those two versions of air suspensions.
