The rear suspension strut/shock absorber mounts between the rear frame and the rear suspension on 982 (718) Boxster/Cayman models equipped with the sport suspension (option code: 030). It controls the damping and rebound of the rear suspension, absorbing road imperfections and maintaining tire contact with the ground, providing stability, comfort, and handling.

This shock absorber regulates the suspension’s movement by absorbing and damping motion as the rear wheels react to road surfaces, bumps or dynamic forces. It ensures the rear end remains stable and controlled during acceleration, braking, cornering, or over uneven surfaces. By restoring proper damping performance, it helps maintain ride comfort, correct suspension geometry, and sharp handling characteristics that Porsche intended.
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:
• Bouncing or excessive vertical motion over bumps.
• Reduced stability under braking, cornering or on uneven roads.
• Unusual “floating” ride, lack of suspension control, or degraded handling feel.
• Fluid leaks from the old dampers or visibly worn / damaged units.
• You are performing suspension overhaul, upgrading ride quality, or restoring front/rear suspension on the car.

This OE Match shock absorber set delivers factory-equivalent ride control and stability. Manufactured to meet OEM performance standards, these shocks provide precise damping response, dependable rebound control, and durable operation under both everyday driving and spirited use.
Replacing rear shocks as a pair ensures symmetrical damping on both sides, restoring correct chassis balance, rear-end stability, and consistent handling feel.
These rear dampers absorb road impacts and vibrations to provide a smoother, more controlled ride. They regulate both compression and rebound forces, helping the suspension respond predictably under all driving conditions. By maintaining proper alignment and reducing stress on surrounding components, they preserve the balanced, sporty ride quality expected from the 718 series.
Worn or weakened rear shocks can lead to:
• Reduced stability and grip
• Excessive bouncing over bumps
• Uneven or unpredictable handling
• Longer braking distances
• Accelerated tyre and suspension wear
Installing a pair restores proper damping performance, improves driving confidence, and preserves the balanced road feel.
Replace your rear shocks if you notice:
• Leaking fluid around the dampers
• Excessive bounce or instability at the rear
• Degraded ride comfort or harshness
• Uneven tyre wear or poor cornering response
• Suspension upgrades, repairs, or mileage-related wear (typically 50k–70k miles+)
