Functions
- Helps locate the rear suspension assembly.
- Supports controlled articulation through suspension movement.
- Contributes to maintaining rear wheel geometry.

Symptoms of Fault
Rear suspension knocking or squeaking, restricted articulation, uneven tyre wear and changes in rear alignment warrant inspection. These signs can also originate from bushes, joints, dampers or mounting points, so they do not establish that the plate itself needs replacement.
Why Replacement Matters
Renewal may be appropriate when inspection reveals corrosion, impact damage or deterioration affecting the component or its mounting arrangement. Check adjoining bushes, joints and fixings during the repair rather than assuming a replacement plate alone will resolve every symptom. OE Match focuses on Porsche applications, with specification review and sample assessment forming part of its component development process.
FAQs
Can these plates be installed on a non-RS 964?
The supplied application notes include Carrera 2, Carrera 4 and Turbo models as upgrade applications, provided the larger Carrera RS eccentric nuts are purchased.
Should rear alignment be checked afterwards?
Yes. Suspension work can affect rear camber and toe, so arrange a geometry check following installation.
Do noises always mean the spring plate is faulty?
No. Inspect the plate together with its bushes, mounts and neighbouring suspension components to identify the cause before replacing parts.
