Diagram ref no 1

As part of the rear suspension system, this shock absorber absorbs road surface irregularities, controls damping and rebound, and keeps the rear wheels firmly in contact with the road surface. It ensures stability during braking, acceleration and cornering, and maintains ride comfort and chassis balance. Being a genuine Porsche part, it preserves the original suspension feel and driving dynamics.

Shock absorbers degrade over time through wear, leaking seals, and internal fatigue. When rear dampers lose effectiveness, the suspension becomes uncontrolled: leading to poor ride comfort, excessive bouncing over bumps, reduced traction, worsened handling, and increased strain on tyres and suspension components. Replacing with a new damper restores proper damping performance - ensuring ride comfort, handling precision, stability, and safety. This is particularly important for a sports car like the 982 Boxster / Cayman, where chassis balance and dynamic response are critical to the driving experience.

When to replace
You should consider replacing the rear shock absorbers if you notice any of the following:
•  Existing dampers show leakage, wear or degraded damping performance.
•  Ride comfort or handling becomes uneven, unstable, or compromised.
•  Unusual “floating” ride, lack of suspension control, or degraded handling feel.
•  You require factory-correct ride behaviour and safety margins - especially after suspension or chassis work.
