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.

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.

This set (4 × 97033104300) provides a comprehensive replacement for the rear upper outer track control arms of both left and right sides of the rear axle - ideal when performing a full rear suspension refresh on the Porsche Panamera (970 series). Each arm is made to the OE specification.
SET OF 4, Set is for both sides (left and right)
Fits:
Porsche 970 Panamera 2011 - 2016
Diagram ref no 8
• Position on Vehicle: Rear suspension, upper outer track arms on both left & right sides.
• Cross-Reference / Alternative Numbers: 4 × OEM ref no 970 331 043 00.
• Applications: Recommended when tackling either side wear, when both ends are accessible, or for proactive suspension maintenance to maintain optimal handling symmetry.
Replacing only one side can lead to uneven suspension response, mismatched bushing dynamics or alignment drift. A full-set replacement ensures both sides share the same new-condition components, preserving symmetry, tyre wear and handling balance.
When to replace all four:
• Both rear outer track arms show wear or are original units.
• After major rear suspension work (bushings, shock absorbers, links) when labour allows access.
• When you notice rear-end instability, divergent tyre wear or inconsistent handling.
• Higher-mileage Panamera where the original rear suspension components are nearing end-of-life.

What This Product Does:
- The top mount (strut mount) sits between the top of the shock absorber/strut and the vehicle’s body/strut tower. It supports the loads from springs, damper, steering (via bearing), and absorbs vibration/road noise.
- A monoball mount version replaces the standard rubber mount with a spherical bearing (monoball) or very stiff mounting that provides more direct steering/suspension feedback, reduces deflection under load, and keeps suspension geometry (camber, caster) more consistent during hard cornering.
Symptoms & Signs You Need Replacement:
- Clunking or knocking noise from the top of the front strut tower when going over bumps or during steering inputs — a worn mount or bearing often causes this.
- Squeaking or creaking noise when steering the wheel, especially at low speeds — the strut mount bearing may be worn.
- Poor steering feedback or vague handling, especially when cornering hard — a worn mount can cause deflection and loss of camber control.
- Excessive vibration or noise through the body from the front suspension; worn mount rubber or bearing can transmit more noise.
- During a shock/strut replacement or front suspension overhaul — since the top mount assembly must be removed anyway, replacing the modern monoball upgrade kit is logical to restore or upgrade suspension quality.
- Steering geometry issues — if you’ve had camber/caster issues, or your tyres are wearing unevenly at the front, a poor top mount may contribute.
- Suspension performance & tyre contact: On high-performance cars like a Porsche 911 C4/Turbo, the front suspension’s geometry and mounting rigidity matter a lot. If the top mount is deflecting, you lose optimal tyre contact patch under load, which reduces grip, increases tyre wear, and impairs handling.
- Durability & noise/vibration: Rubber top mounts tend to degrade over time (cracking, flattening, absorbing road noise). A good mount + bearing kit eliminates unwanted compliance and noise, and lengthens life of the strut/damper assembly.
- Precise handling and steering feel: The top mount bearing allows the strut to turn with steering; if worn, you get sloppy steering feel and delayed response. Upgrading to a monoball mount helps sharpen the steering and gives more direct feedback.
- Prevents repeat labour: Since access to the strut top requires removing mount or taking down the strut, doing a mount/bearing replacement while everything is open is cost-effective. It avoids having to redo labour later when noise or wear returns.

This groove nut locks the ball joint securely into the front wishbone, maintaining correct alignment and preventing movement under cornering loads and braking forces. Its machined groove design allows for proper engagement with a locking ring or pin, ensuring long-term stability and safety.
With age, the original groove nut may corrode, lose thread integrity, or deform during removal. Using a worn or non-spec nut can lead to incorrect torque, potential loosening, or suspension play.
Replace when:
• Replacing the front ball joints or wishbone assemblies
• The threads are damaged, corroded, or rounded
• Performing a front suspension rebuild or alignment correction
Installing a fresh groove nut ensures proper torque retention, precise alignment, and dependable suspension performance.

THE ONLY TRUE REPLACEMENT.
NOTHING LESS THAN A TRUE FACTORY EQUIVALENT
SHW PERFORMANCE produces both one and two piece, ventilated disc brake rotors to cover a wide range of vehicle applications.The vehicle application automatically dictates which style, composition and type of disc brake rotor is available, as SHW only offer a genuine direct replacement for the factory supplied disc.For lesser performance orientated vehicles, a ventilated monoblock disc brake rotor produced from cast iron will more than suffice. For vehicles placing greater demand on the needed stopping power, a lightweight, composite, fully floating two-piece design is often preferred (the style of which is referred commonly as a peg or pin drive system).

PATENTED DESIGN PIN-DRIVE SYSTEM.
FROM WEIGHT REDUCTION TO IMPROVED COOLING, DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF THE SHW PIN-DRIVE BRAKE ROTOR SYSTEM
Innovation, sustainability, added value. Welcome to SHW's patented Pin-Drive system, a substantial step forward in the future of braking.
SHW's Pin-Drive system carries many benefits when compared to conventional methods of disc brake rotor design. So, what is 'Pin-Drive' and why is it advantageous over a one-piece disc brake rotor?
The Pin-Drive system is a two piece fully floating disc brake rotor. The friction ring is connected to the central aluminium rotor bell by means of stainless steel pins which are cast into the assembly during the manufacturing process. The purpose behind the design is to offer a range of advantages:
- Up to 5.5lbs of weight reduction (rotating and unsprung weight) per disc compared to Monoblock.
- Reduced thermal strain thanks to the friction ring having more freedom to expand and contract.
- Low brake fading properties.
- Improved durability.
- Enhanced brake comfort thanks to optimised thermal conditions.
- Optimal curved vane design that maintains structural strength while improving noise dampening.
UNPARALLELED COOLING ADVANTAGES.
MAINTAIN OPTIMUM BRAKING PERFORMANCE FOR LONGER WITH IMPROVED COOLING PROPERTIES.
As well as a reduction in unsprung weight and improved braking characteristics, SHW's Pin-Drive design also prides itself on offering unbeatable cooling advantages, just one of the reasons why it has become the first choice for many OEM's.
Unlike other brake manufacturers, SHW developed a PATENTED improvement of the disc construction by offsetting the pin connection of the friction ring to the aluminium disc bell away from the center to the edge, which results in huge cooling gains.
By offsetting the pin connection of the friction ring to the aluminium bell the cooling channels running centrally through the rotor see a huge increase in accessibility and cooler air flow. This advantageous design offers up to a 50% cooling advantage gain when compared to traditional designs.
Allowing a greater flow of air, heat generated on the surface of the friction ring (via the brake pads clamping down under braking) is carried away faster and more efficiently, dramatically reducing inner core and surface temperatures across the complete disc brake rotor. In addition, due to the unique patented design, further weight savings are achieved thanks to a shallow aluminium disc bell.
THE IMPORTANCE OF AIR FLOW. WHEN AIR FLOW IS PARAMOUNT TO PERFORMANCE. THE LOWER THE OPERATING TEMPERATURES, THE HIGHER THE PERFORMANCE. The cold air is traditionally fed via air ducts located either in the front bumper, or channeled through pathways on the underside of the vehicles under tray. As the cold air enters the rear of the disc bell, it passes through vanes between the two brake rotor faces. The cooler air helps to reduce temperatures from the very core of the brake disc by collecting heat and carrying it outwards, away from the brake disc assembly and eventually venting back out into the passing air flow found circulating the inner wheel.
