Front Shock Absorber Top Mount & Overhaul Kit.
Restore the critical upper mounting point of your front suspension with this comprehensive overhaul kit, designed for Porsche 981 Boxster Spyder front strut-tower applications.

Fits:

• Porsche Boxster 981 Spyder 3.8L 2016

Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13

What This Product Does:

• The front shock absorber (strut) top mount (sometimes called “strut mount,” “upper mount,” or “mount cap & bearing”) is the part that mounts the top of the front damper/strut to the vehicle’s body (strut tower). It carries spring and damper load, provides a secure connection to the chassis, and often includes a bearing to allow the strut to rotate with steering movement.
• Over time, the top mount’s rubber or elastomer may degrade, the bearing may develop play or noise, the mount plate may shift, washers/nuts may loosen, dust covers may deteriorate. This results in increased noise, worse ride/handling, and possible mis-alignment of the strut.
• This overhaul kit replaces the mount, bearing and all relevant hardware so you restore that top mount area to like new, ensuring proper load path, better durability, reduced noise and proper steering/handling characteristics.
  
  

Signs & When You Should Consider Replacement:

• Clunking, knocking or creaking noises from the front strut-tower area when going over bumps or during steering input — a typical symptom of a worn mount or bearing.
  
• Steering feel or front suspension feel has degraded — loose, vague feel, or mis-alignment under load (cornering) can be caused by mount movement or bearing play.
  
• Ride comfort has worsened — a degraded mount transmits more road vibration or noise into the cabin.
  
• You are replacing the front shocks/struts or doing front suspension work — since the top mount is removed/loosened for such work, renewing the mount and hardware at the same time is highly recommended.
  
• Visual inspection may show a cracked or separated mount rubber, bearing play, rusted or worn nuts/bolts, or installer notes of mount movement when the top is pushed.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters:

• Restores front suspension performance & precision: The top mount is key to how the front suspension loads up and behaves. A degraded mount allows unwanted movement under load, which reduces tyre contact patch consistency, reduces handling precision, and can upset steering feel.
  
• Eliminates noise & improves ride comfort: Many mount failures manifest as clunks, squeaks, or increased vibration. The full kit replacement addresses the entire assembly, not just one failing piece.
  
• Prevents more serious damage: If the mount is loose or the bearing is worn, the load path through the strut stack may shift, leading to premature damper shaft wear or strut tower load concentrations.
  
• Cost-effective timing: Since the top mount requires strut removal or top tower access, doing the full kit while you have that access is efficient and avoids re-doing labour.

Comprehensive Engine Timing Chain Kit for M97.01 and M96.05 Engines

Restore the integrity of your engine’s timing system with this complete timing chain kit. First generation 997 engines are equipped with 3  chains. This kit replaces all chains along with the associated guides, tensioners, and hardware for a full system refresh.

Fits: 

• Porsche 997 Carrera 3.6L 2005-2008
• Porsche 997 Carrera S 3.8L 2005-2008

What is an Engine Timing Chain?

The timing chain is a vital component in an internal combustion engine, responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshafts. This precise coordination ensures that engine valves open and close at the correct times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes, allowing for smooth performance and efficiency.

While designed to last the lifetime of the engine, timing chains can wear, stretch, or become damaged. A worn chain can alter engine timing, strain the tensioners, and, if left unaddressed, lead to catastrophic engine damage and costly repairs. 

Why Replacement Matters:
The timing chain system is crucial for synchronising crankshaft and camshaft timing. Mis-timed engine can lead to loss of power, increased emissions or catastrophic internal damage. Over time chains stretch, guides wear and tensioners degrade, compromising timing accuracy. A full timing chain replacement restores correct timing, enhances engine reliability and protects against future costly repairs.

When and why to replace:
• Audible chain rattle on start-up or at idle.
• Engine mis-timing faults, camshaft sensor codes or rough running.
• Visible chain guide wear or damaged tensioners during disassembly.
• High-mileage engine (> 80,000–100,000 km) where original timing system is aging.
• During an engine rebuild or major service when access to timing system is available.

Complete Rear Upper Control Arm set, includes:
• 2x 97033104700 (upper control arms)
• 4x 97033104300 (upper outer track control arms)
• A genuine OE Porsche fitting kit (bolts, washers, nuts, alignment shims as required)

Together, these components offer a complete rear upper suspension refresh. Each control arm is manufactured to match original Porsche equipment in terms of geometry, material, bushings and mounting points - ensuring restored capability for alignment, ride comfort and handling precision.

Fits:
Porsche 970 Panamera 2010 - 2016

Diagram ref no 8, 9, 15, 18, 19, 20.

• Position on Vehicle: Rear suspension, upper level - two centre arms and four outer track arms, connecting the sub-frame to wheel hubs/carrier assemblies.

• Applications: Ideal when the original suspension arms or bushings show wear, excessive play or mis-alignment; or when you are performing a full rear axle suspension overhaul to bring handling back to factory standard.

The rear upper control arms and outer track links play a vital role in locating the wheels, maintaining alignment, and ensuring stable vehicle dynamics. If these components wear or the bushings fatigue, you’ll likely see rear-end instability, uneven tyre wear, clunks under load or degraded handling. Replacing them restores correct rear geometry, improves ride and handling consistency and helps protect other suspension parts.

When and why to replace:
• Rear suspension creaking, knocking or excessive play when cornering or accelerating.
• Rear tyres showing uneven wear or alignment falling out of spec.
• During major rear suspension service (bushings, link arms, subframe removal) - when access allows a full kit change.
• High-mileage Panamera where original suspension arms may have reached the end of their service life.
• For full-axle symmetry: when one side is worn, replacing both sides with matched parts eliminates mismatch in performance and handling.

Rear upper centre track control arm set, Ref No. 97033104700. 
This Set of 2 includes two 97033104700 control arms — enough for both sides of the rear axle for the Porsche Panamera (970 series). Each arm is manufactured to the same exacting standards, so that left and right sides operate in harmony with equal performance characteristics. This paired set is perfect for a full rear-axle refresh, ensuring matched components and consistent handling.
SET OF 2,  for both sides (left and right).

Fits:
Porsche 970.1 Panamera 2010 - 2013 all models
Porsche 970.2 Panamera 2014 - 2016 all models

Diagram ref no 9

• Position on Vehicle: Rear suspension, both upper outer or upper inner arms (as appropriate) for full-axle replacement.
• Applications: Ideal when replacing suspension components on both sides to maintain symmetry, avoid mismatched parts, ensure uniform ride and handling behaviour across the rear axle.

Replacing only one side can lead to mismatched suspension behaviour where one arm is new and the other is old, resulting in uneven wear, asymmetric handling or poor alignment outcomes. A full-set ensures both sides work identically, delivering harmonised performance and maximising the service life of the rear suspension system.

When to replace both:
• Both arms show wear or have original bushings and you want uniform performance.
• Undergoing major rear suspension service where access is granted to both sides.
• Addressing rear-end instability, asymmetric tyre wear or suspension misalignment.
• High-mileage vehicle where the rear suspension components across both sides are approaching end-of-life together.
• Preventative replacement to avoid repeated labour and downtime.

Rear Shock Absorber Top Mount & Overhaul Kit.
Restore the rear suspension top mount area of your Porsche 981 Boxster with this comprehensive overhaul kit. Designed for the rear shock/strut top mount region to replace worn or fatigued top-mount hardware.

Fits:

• Porsche Boxster 981 2.7L 2012-16
• Porsche Boxster 981 S / GTS 3.4L 2012-16

Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10

What This Product Does:

• The rear shock absorber top mount secures the top of the shock or strut assembly to the vehicle body or rear suspension tower. It ensures the damper is correctly located and loaded, and helps absorb vibrations, maintain correct geometry and isolate noise.
• Over time, mounts, washers, nuts and associated hardware fatigue – the mount may sag or shift, washers may wear, the nut may loosen, the bearing (if present) may wear. This reduces suspension precision, can introduce noise (clunks, creaks) and affects handling.
• This kit replaces the top mount nut, washers, mount components and related hardware — restoring the top of the damper assembly to like-new spec, which supports ride quality, handling, durability and quiet operation.

When You Should Consider Replacement:

• Knocking or clunking noises from the rear strut top area when accelerating, decelerating or going over bumps.
  
• Poor ride quality at the rear, increased vibration or a feeling of looseness in the rear suspension.
  
• Inconsistent handling or rear feel: e.g., rear end doesn’t feel as controlled or stable in corners.
  
• You are replacing/rebuilding your rear dampers/shocks or springs: since the top mount hardware is removed anyway, replacing it is efficient and recommended.
  
• Visible damage or wear: If mount washers are deformed, nuts show signs of loosening, or the mount has shifted — an overhaul kit helps restore it properly.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Restores rear suspension integrity & performance: The top mount plays a key role in how the rear damper responds. A worn mount allows movement or misalignment, reducing tyre contact and degrading handling.
  
• Eliminates noise and improves comfort: A compromised mount is often the source of rear knocks, rattles or increased harshness — replacing the kit removes this weak link.
  
• Prevents further damage: If the mount hardware fails, the stress transfers to other components: damper shaft, body mount, spring seat — renewing the top mount stops further failure.
  
• Cost-effective when servicing: When the shock assembly is out for service, installing the full mount kit avoids future labour for what is essentially an ageing item.

Front Shock Absorber Top Mount & Overhaul Kit.
Restore the critical upper mounting point of your front suspension with this comprehensive overhaul kit. Designed for the front strut tower on Porsche 981 Boxster, this kit includes the top mount, bearing and all required hardware such as nuts, washers, bump stop/dust cover components.

Fits:

• Porsche Boxster 981 2.7L 2012-16 (For Cars With PASM)
• Porsche Boxster 981 S / GTS 3.4L 2012-16 (For Cars With PASM)

Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13

What This Product Does:

• The shock absorber top mount (sometimes called “strut mount” or “upper mount”) attaches the top of the front damper/strut assembly to the vehicle’s body/strut tower. It supports the spring/damper load, allows steering movement (via the bearing), and isolates noise/vibration.
• Over time, the rubber mount may degrade, the bearing can bind or wear, hardware may corrode — leading to poor ride, noise, loss of precision.
• The overhaul kit replaces the mount, bearing and all relevant hardware so the top of your front suspension is restored to correct specification — improving longevity, ride quality, handling, and eliminating common wear symptoms.

When You Should Consider Replacement:

• Knocking, creaking or clunking from the top of the strut tower when driving over bumps or turning the steering wheel.
  
• Steering or handling feel degraded: less precision, vague feedback, increased body roll, front-end wander.
  
• Suspension ride quality worsened, front-end noise or vibration transmitted into the cabin.
  
• You are replacing front shocks/struts: since the top mount must be removed for that job, it’s efficient to replace the mount/bearing/hardware at the same time.
  
• Mount or bearing visibly worn: If inspection shows the mount rubber cracked, bearing flattened or play exists, the overhaul kit is justified.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters:

• Preserves ride & handling performance: The front suspension’s mount integrity influences tyre contact patch, cornering stability, and steering precision. A worn mount can compromise all of these.
  
• Eliminates noise & improves NVH: Worn mounts or bearings contribute to noise, creaks, clunks and general poor ride comfort. Replacing them improves refinement and comfort.
  
• Prevents further damage: If the top mount fails or deforms, the strut, spring seat, bearing or body mounting may suffer damage. A fresh kit protects the rest of the suspension.
  
• More cost-effective in service: Since the strut top mount is accessed when the strut is removed, it’s efficient to replace the mount kit at the same time rather than later.

Camshaft Covers LOWER with gaskets & bolts. The engine valve cover—also known as a rocker cover—is a vital component that seals the top of the engine’s cylinder head. It protects the valves and valve train components from dirt, debris, and contaminants while helping to prevent oil leaks.

In many modern engines, the valve cover also integrates parts of the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, including the PCV valve itself. This design helps manage crankcase pressure and ensures proper ventilation of engine gases for optimal performance.

This kit includes 

• 2 x Camshaft Cover LOWER. Porsche 993 (Ref No 99310511607)
• 24 x Camshaft cover bolt. Porsche 993 (Ref No 90006723801)
• 2 x Camshaft cover gasket, Lower. Porsche 993 (Ref No 99310513502)

Fits:

• Porsche 993 (911) C2 1994-97
• Porsche 993 (911) C4 1994-97
• Porsche 993 (911) RS 1994-97
• Porsche 993 (911) C2S 1994-97
• Porsche 993 (911) C4S 1994-97

Common Engine Valve Cover Failure Symptoms

• ·         Aging and Wear: Over time, valve cover gaskets can harden, shrink, or crack, leading to oil leaks and burning oil smells coming from the engine.
• ·         Improper Installation: Uneven torque or incorrect gasket placement during installation can cause leaks and sealing issues.
• ·         Material Fatigue: Constant exposure to high engine temperatures can cause plastic or metal covers to warp or crack.
• ·         Blocked PCV Valve: A clogged PCV system can cause excess crankcase pressure, potentially damaging the valve cover or gasket.

Rear Shock Absorber Top Mount & Overhaul Kit.
Ensure your Porsche 987.2 Boxster rear suspension remains at its best with this comprehensive overhaul kit designed for the rear shock absorber top mount region. This kit restores the mount that secures your damper to the chassis, eliminating movement, noise and restoring handling precision.

Fits:

• Porsche Boxster 987 MKII 2.9L 2009-2012 (For Cars With PASM)
• Porsche Boxster S 987 MKII 3.4L 2009-2012 (For Cars With PASM)

Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

What This Product Does:

• The rear shock absorber top mount (sometimes called the strut mount) attaches the top of the rear damper/strut to the vehicle’s body or suspension tower. It carries the load from the spring/damper, secures the strut in correct vertical position and isolates road noise/vibration.
  
• Over time the mount rubber can degrade (crack, compress, wear), the bearing (if present) can develop play, the studs or hardware may corrode — leading to unwanted movement, noise, poor rear suspension behaviour or handling issues.
• The overhaul kit replaces the mount and all relevant hardware/fasteners so that the damper top-interface is renewed and restored, ensuring correct alignment, proper isolation and solid connection.
  
  

Sign Of Needing Replacement:

• A tired mount or bearing often causes knocking or creaking from the rear suspension—replacing the mount/kit cures these NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) symptoms.
• If the mount is compromised, it can increase stress on the shock absorber rod, spring seat, or mount tower. Renewing the mount protects those components.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Restores rear suspension performance & precision: The top mount is key to how the rear suspension reacts under load. When worn, the mount may flex or move under cornering/braking, reducing tyre contact, upsetting alignment and degrading handling.
• Cost‐efficient approach: If you're already undertaking rear suspension work (shock/strut replacement or spring change), replacing the mount and hardware at the same time avoids repeat labour and future issues.
