Product Information
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.

Product Information
Product Information
Shock absorber upper strut mounts, SET OF 2 KIT FrontThe strut mount secures the strut to your vehicle’s chassis and supports the coil spring, while a built-in bushing absorbs impacts from the strut piston. Beneath the strut mount sits the strut bearing, allowing smooth movement of the strut with the steering knuckle as your wheels turn.

When the strut mount’s bushing wears out, it often causes clunking noises over bumps and reduces damping, resulting in a harsh ride. A failing strut bearing, on the other hand, can cause binding and resistance during steering. Because replacing either component requires removing and disassembling the strut assembly, it’s common practice to replace both at the same time.


Fits:
Porsche 991.1 C2 / C2S / C4 / C4S - 2012 to 2016
Porsche 991.2 C2 / C2S / C4 / C4S - 2016 to 2019

Porsche 982C Cayman - 2017>>

Key Features: 

High-quality strut mounts and bearings for precise fit and performance. 
Restores suspension function and handling 
Symptoms of a Worn Strut Mount or Bearing: 

  • Clunking or knocking noises: Especially over bumps, potholes, or rough roads, caused by movement of a loose strut or spring. 
  •  Increased body roll or bouncing: Reduced damping can make cornering unstable and rides harsh. 
  •  Steering resistance or binding: Typically from a failing strut bearing, affecting smooth wheel movement

This compensation ring provides precise spacing between shock absorber components, ensuring correct stack height and secure clamping of suspension hardware. It helps prevent misalignment, unwanted movement, or noise caused by incorrect component positioning.

Installed as part of the front damper or strut mounting assembly, the ring acts as a precision spacer that maintains factory-specified tolerances. By ensuring proper seating and load distribution, it supports smooth suspension operation and helps preserve correct geometry and alignment.

Even small suspension hardware components play a critical role in overall system integrity. A worn, damaged, or missing compensation ring can affect clamping force and alignment within the strut assembly, leading to noise, premature wear, or altered suspension behaviour. Replacing it with a fresh component restores correct fitment and helps ensure long-term suspension reliability.

When to replace:
During front shock or strut replacement
 Ring is corroded, distorted, or damaged during removal
 Persistent front-end noise traced to strut hardware
 Suspension rebuild or geometry correction work

About Shock Absorber Parts FRONT

Porsche Front Shock Absorber Parts | Design911 Suspension Components for Comfort, Control & Handling Precision

Front shock absorber parts are crucial to your Porsche’s suspension system, ensuring smooth ride quality, consistent wheel contact, and stable handling. Working together with coil springs, dampers, and mounting components, these parts absorb road impacts and reduce vibration — keeping your Porsche composed and responsive in all driving conditions. A well-maintained front shock absorber assembly delivers the precise steering feedback, grip, and comfort expected from a high-performance vehicle.

At Design911, we offer a wide selection of front shock absorber parts, including mounts, top bearings, bump stops, dust covers, washers, and hardware kits. Each component is designed for perfect fitment, durability, and performance. Whether for routine servicing, restoration, or suspension upgrades, our range ensures your Porsche’s suspension system remains balanced, refined, and road-ready.
