Nordschleife

Front and Rear air suspension shock absorber set.
This Nordschleife  suspension kit delivers a full-axle refresh for the Porsche Panamera 970.1 - providing both front and rear air-spring/damper assemblies to restore ride height, comfort and dynamic handling.

Set includes:
•  1x 97034305123 - Nordschleife Front Left Air Strut
•  1x 97034305223 - Nordschleife Front Right Air Strut

Fits:
* for vehicles with Air Suspension
Porsche 970.1 Panamera  2010 - 2013

The complete package - front struts and rear air springs/dampers - rebuilds the backbone of your ride comfort, steering precision and chassis balance. Whether you’re fixing sagging suspension or restoring wear-heavy struts, this set ensures a smooth, controlled driving experience from bumper to bumper.

Many Panamera 970s suffer from progressive wear or failure in air struts - leading to sagging ride height, rough ride, poor damping, uneven handling, tyre wear, and compromised safety. Replacing front or rear struts in isolation can restore partial function, but only a full set ensures symmetrical suspension behaviour and balanced dynamics.

Benefits of full set replacement:
• Balanced ride height front and rear - no lean or sag under load
• Uniform damping and suspension response for consistent comfort and control
• Protection of suspension geometry - reducing tyre wear and stress on control arms, bushings, and linkage
• Peace of mind — new seals, springs, and dampers across all four corners eliminate guesswork and prolong suspension longevity

Ideal times to replace:
• When ride height sags or sits unevenly
• Audible air leaks, rattles or rough ride due to worn struts
• After air-spring failure or leaking rear strut(s)
• Comprehensive suspension overhaul or high-mileage maintenance

•  Position on Vehicle: Rear axle, left and right sides — replacing original rear air strut assemblies

•  Function: Supports rear load, maintains correct ride height under static and dynamic conditions; air spring adapts to load/weight changes while damper controls suspension movement, absorbing road irregularities, improving ride comfort and rear-end stability.

Rear air suspension struts carry a heavy load and endure considerable stress. Over time, common failure points include:
• Air-spring bellow leaks or degradation causing sagging rear or ride-height loss
• Internal damper wear leading to harsh, bouncy ride, poor handling, or increased noise
• Uneven ride height, reduced comfort, and distorted rear-axle geometry, affecting tyre wear and vehicle stability

Replacing worn or faulty struts restores:
• Correct ride height and level stance
• Smooth, controlled damping over bumps and load changes
• Balanced suspension behaviour and consistent handling
• Proper load distribution and reduced stress on other suspension components

When to replace:
•  Rear of the vehicle sags or sits uneven under load or when parked
•  Noticeable harshness, bounce, or instability over bumps or under braking
•  Air-suspension warning, compressor over-run, or visible air-bag damage
•  Full suspension overhaul or after replacing related components (compressor, valves, mounts)

Front air suspension shock absorber, SET OF 2.
The Nordschleife front air suspension strut set (OE ref no: 97034305135 + 97034305235) provides a complete replacement pair for front axle on Panamera 970.2 vehicles equipped with air suspension.

This set includes:
1x 97034305135 — Nordschleife Front left air suspension strut
1x 97034305235 — Nordschleife Front right air suspension strut

Fits:

Porsche 970.2 Panamera 2014 - 2016

Diagram ref no 1

Ideal for replacing leaking, sagging, worn or failed original air struts; restoring ride height after collapse; renewing suspension on high-mileage or lifted/sagging Panamera; restoring original-spec ride and handling after suspension service.

Air suspension struts carry a heavy burden - they support vehicle weight, absorb shocks, and maintain ride height and alignment. Over time and usage, they can lose air-tightness (airbag leaks), damping performance (shock wear), or structural integrity. Symptoms of a failing strut include sagging corner, bouncy ride, inconsistent ride height, poor handling, or suspension warning lights.

Replacing worn or damaged struts with the correct unit ensures:
• Safe, stable ride height and posture
• Smooth, controlled damping over bumps and under load
• Balanced handling and chassis control
• Prevention of further suspension, linkage, or tyre wear.

When to replace:
• Strut leaks air or fails to hold suspension height.
• The ride becomes harsh, bouncy or inconsistent.
• Suspension bottom-out or rough ride over bumps.
• During general suspension overhaul, after high mileage or for restoring original ride quality.

Front air suspension shock absorber, SET OF 2.
This set includes two front air suspension struts engineered to directly replace factory units for the Panamera 971 series fitted with air suspension systems.

Includes:
1x 971616037N - Nordschleife front left air strut
1x 971616038N - Nordschleife front right air strut

Fits:
Porsche 971 Panamera 2016 - 2020

• Position: Front axle – left and right air suspension strut assemblies

• Function: Absorbs road shocks, controls ride height, integrates air spring and damper for consistent ride comfort and handling; supports vehicle’s dynamic suspension management.

•  Includes: 1 × left strut (OE ref no 971616037N), 1 × right strut (OE ref no 971616038N)

•  Applications: Ideal when either or both front struts show signs of air loss, vehicle sag, front-end ride inconsistency, harsh ride, or as part of a front suspension overhaul/upgrade.

When front air struts fail or degrade, symptoms often include:
• Vehicle front-end sagging or uneven ride height
• Excessive bounce, harsh ride or reduced control over imperfections
• Front axle handling feeling vague, poor body control, or air-suspension warnings
• Uneven tyre wear or compromised alignment due to incorrect ride height.

Replacing both struts simultaneously ensures side-to-side ride and handling symmetry, restores correct front ride height and stabilises the suspension geometry. This not only improves comfort but also protects other suspension components from compensating for worn struts.

When to replace:
• Either front strut shows oil/air leak or audible hiss
• Vehicle sagging, warning message in air-suspension system
• Car of high mileage or track use where performance consistency is important
• During a front suspension service or upgrade to performance air struts
