What This Product Does:
- The front strut (shock absorber) top mount is the connection point where the top of the suspension strut attaches to the car’s body (strut tower). It supports loads from the spring and damper, allows steering pivot (via bearing) and isolates the mount from road noise/ vibration.
- Inside that mount is a bearing to handle rotation as the front wheels steer, and various hardware/plates to secure the assembly.
- Over time, rubber mounts can deteriorate, bearings develop wear or play, mounting plates may corrode, dust covers degrade — this leads to noise (clunks, creaks), reduced ride comfort, compromised steering feel or alignment issues.
- The overhaul kit replaces the top mount, bearing and all associated supporting hardware so you restore that upper strut interface.
When You Should Consider Replacement:
- Clunking, creaking, or knocking noises from the front suspension, especially when turning or going over bumps, often signal worn mounts or bearings.
- If the steering feels vague, resists turning, or doesn’t return to center smoothly, the top mount bearing may be binding or worn.
- A degraded mount allows unwanted movement between the strut and body, resulting in increased harshness, poor damping response, or “floaty” handling.
- Always replace the top mount and bearing when fitting new front shocks or coilovers.
- These are wear-matched components, and reusing old mounts can undermine the benefits of new suspension.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Restores handling & ride quality: On a performance car like a Porsche, the front suspension’s mount integrity is critical. A worn mount allows movement under load, reducing handling precision, altering tyre contact patches or upset steering response.
- Eliminates noise & NVH issues: A degraded top mount/bearing often causes unpleasant noises from the front suspension — creaks when turning the wheel, clunks over bumps, rattles from the top mount. Replacing rectifies the source.
- Pre-emptive maintenance saves cost: Since the front strut top mount is only easily accessed when removing the strut assembly or front tower, replacing the full mount kit while you’re working in that area is far more efficient than doing parts piecemeal later.
- Prevents escalation of damage: A failing top mount could lead to bearing failure, strut shaft wear, mount plate fatigue or body mount damage — addressing the mount prevents cascading failures.

2” lift kit with subframe drop kit for Porsche 996
Introducing the 996 Bolt-On Lift Kit, compatible with the C2, C4, and Turbo chassis. This kit mounts directly onto the top of the struts in conjunction with our subframe drop system, providing approximately 2 inches of additional lift. This enhancement improves ground clearance while preserving the vehicle's original ride quality.
The kit is engineered to work seamlessly with both OEM struts and aftermarket coilovers. The front upper mounts are designed as a two-piece system to facilitate camber adjustments when necessary. Additionally, while the OEM strut towers permit minor adjustments, our mounts are specifically designed to allow for increased negative camber if required.
Subframe drop kit
When lifting a 996 chassis, the extra height required for taller tires will increase axle geometry. Adding a subframe drop will improve axle performance and longevity. It will also allow for more suspension travel and relocate control arms for better geometry.
Designed for Porsche 996 Overland/Safari projects.
Spacers are CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum then gray anodized for protection.
Hardware is 10.9-12.9 custom built from scratch. No universal threaded rod. All zinc coated for lifetime of corrosion resistance.
Kit Includes:
2 x Front Lift Spacers
2 x Rear Lift Spacers
18 x Subframe Spacers ( 4 sizes)

Under extreme conditions, such as road racing and autocross, negative camber is required to keep as much of the tire's contact patch on the road as possible. Stock suspension mounts will not allow you to achieve the necessary amount of negative camber required for this type of performance driving. Rennline's sealed camber plates incorporate FK motorsports spherical bearings and eliminate the indistinct feedback associated with factory rubber mounts.

* Rigid bearing mount, not clipped in like some products available.
* Specially machined upper nut to allow clearance for maximum negative camber settings.
* Allows for up to 1.25 degrees of added negative camber.
* Special tool included to hold strut shaft from turning when tightening upper nut.
* Can be used with all factory and aftermarket struts, Including factory non adjustable units.
* Webbed machined base for light weight and superior strength.
* Fully rebuildable

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.
What Do Front Shock Absorber Parts Do?
Front shock absorber parts form a critical link in your suspension assembly, helping the dampers and springs function effectively while maintaining chassis balance.
Core Functions:
• Support the shock absorber assembly and maintain correct positioning.
• Reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) from road impacts.
• Allow smooth, controlled compression and rebound of the suspension.
• Protect the shock absorber from dust, dirt, and fluid contamination.
• Ensure consistent ride height and suspension performance.
Each part plays a vital role in maintaining Porsche’s signature blend of agility, precision, and comfort.
Why Do Front Shock Absorber Parts Fail or Degrade?
Continuous movement, heat, and exposure to the elements cause front suspension components to wear or deteriorate over time.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Perished rubber mounts or bushings reducing shock absorption.
• Corroded bolts or mounting plates affecting alignment.
• Cracked or split dust covers allowing dirt ingress.
• Worn bearings causing creaking or uneven damping.
• Age-related material fatigue reducing effectiveness.
When these parts fail, symptoms can include knocking noises, uneven ride height, poor steering feel, or harsh suspension response — all indicators that replacement is needed to restore performance and comfort.
Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Front Shock Absorber Parts?
Replacing worn components restores your suspension’s performance and ensures precise steering and comfort. Upgrading to reinforced or performance-spec parts improves chassis response and durability, especially for spirited driving or track use.
Key Benefits:
• Restores smooth ride quality and suspension balance.
• Improves steering accuracy and road feedback.
• Reduces vibration, noise, and harshness.
• Constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials.
• Fits Porsche 911, 944, 968, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera
