If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded.
Brakes — Brake components are renewed to restore stopping performance, address wear or upgrade a Porsche for fast road or track use. Common symptoms include vibration under braking, longer stopping distances, squealing, pulling to one side, warning lights and visible wear to discs and pads.
Brake Pad Wear Sensors — Brake pad wear sensors are replaced when pads are renewed or when warning lights indicate a broken or worn sensor. Symptoms include brake wear warnings even with new pads, damaged sensor cables, or broken clips around the caliper area.
Engine Electrical — Engine electrical parts are changed when there are starting, charging, ignition, or sensor-related faults that affect drivability and reliability, such as intermittent no-start, misfires, rough idle, poor charging, warning lights or heat-soak failures.
Service Parts — Service parts are replaced as routine maintenance to keep the engine and systems reliable, efficient, and protected, often resolving hard starting, rough idle, poor fuel economy and warning lights caused by clogged filters or worn ignition components.
Service Kits — Service kits bundle key service components to simplify maintenance and set the car back to a known baseline, especially useful when catching up on overdue servicing or dealing with general sluggish running, inconsistent idle and reduced performance.
- For brake parts, confirm whether items are OE-equivalent replacements or performance upgrades and check if new fitting kits and sensors are required.
- On service items and kits, match the kit to your exact Porsche model, engine and year, and review what is included so you can add any extra “while you are there” parts.

Diagram Ref No 2
The rear shock absorber controls suspension movement by damping the compression and rebound generated as the vehicle travels over changing road surfaces. The supporting top mount holds the upper section of the shock absorber securely while helping manage the forces and vibrations transmitted through the suspension.
Rear top mounts are subjected to continuous loading from road impacts, cornering, acceleration and normal suspension movement. Over time, rubber or other isolation materials can deteriorate, while mounting surfaces and associated components can develop excessive play or damage.
This OE Match Rear Shock Absorber Supporting Top Mount provides a high-quality replacement for a worn, damaged or deteriorated original mount, helping restore secure suspension location and controlled rear-end behaviour.
What This Product Does:
- Secures the upper section of the rear shock absorber to the vehicle.
- Provides a stable mounting point for the rear suspension damper.
- Transfers suspension loads between the shock absorber and chassis.
- Helps maintain correct positioning of the shock absorber.
- Supports controlled compression and rebound of the rear suspension.
- Helps isolate some suspension vibration and harshness from the vehicle body.
- Reduces unwanted movement at the upper shock mounting point.
- Helps maintain consistent rear suspension behaviour.
- Works with the shock absorber and associated suspension components.
- Replaces a worn, cracked, loose or damaged top mount.
- Provides an OE-style replacement for compatible Porsche applications.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Knocking or clunking from the rear suspension.
- Rattling when driving over rough or uneven surfaces.
- Noise when travelling over bumps or potholes.
- Excessive movement at the upper shock absorber mounting point.
- Rear suspension that feels loose or unsettled.
- Increased vibration transmitted into the body.
- Reduced suspension refinement.
- Visible cracking or deterioration of rubber components.
- Separation of rubber from the surrounding mount.
- Damaged or distorted mounting surfaces.
- Corrosion around the mount or associated hardware.
- Shock absorber movement that is not properly controlled at its upper attachment.
- Wear discovered while replacing rear shock absorbers.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The shock absorber top mount is responsible for maintaining a secure connection between the damper and vehicle structure. If the mount develops excessive play or deteriorates, the shock absorber may move at its upper mounting point rather than transferring suspension forces as intended.
- This can result in knocking or rattling noises and may reduce the precision of the rear suspension. On a performance vehicle, unwanted movement within a suspension mounting point can also affect the consistency of the chassis response during cornering and rapid changes of direction.
- A deteriorated mount may transmit increased vibration and harshness into the body. If rubber isolation material has cracked or separated, the mount can lose its ability to cushion the connection between the suspension and chassis.
- Continued operation with a badly worn mount can also place additional stress on the shock absorber, mounting hardware and surrounding attachment points.
- Replacing a worn component with this OE Match Rear Shock Absorber Supporting Top Mount helps restore secure damper location, reduce unwanted suspension movement and support predictable rear suspension performance.

A correctly fitted clamp helps:
- Secure the tail pipe in position
- Maintain correct exhaust alignment
- Reduce unwanted movement and vibration
- Support a secure exhaust connection
- Prevent rattling caused by loose components
Why Do Exhaust Clamps Fail?
Exhaust clamps are constantly exposed to heat cycles, water, road salt and debris. Over time, this can cause standard steel components to corrode, weaken or seize.

As these bearings age, wear or contamination can lead to increased friction, noise and rough operation. Replacing worn bearings during suspension maintenance can help restore smooth movement and eliminate unwanted play or noises from the strut assembly.
What Does a Shock Absorber Groove Ball Bearing Do?
The groove ball bearing allows controlled, low-friction movement within the suspension and shock absorber mounting assembly.
On the front suspension, smooth bearing movement is particularly important as the strut assembly responds to both suspension travel and steering inputs.
A correctly functioning bearing helps provide:
- Smooth suspension movement
- Reduced friction within the strut assembly
- Consistent steering movement
- Correct operation of associated suspension components
- Reduced unwanted noise and resistance
Why Do Shock Absorber Bearings Fail?
Suspension bearings operate under continuous load and are exposed to vibration, impacts and changing road conditions. Over time, this can cause the bearing surfaces to deteriorate.
Common causes of failure include:
- Normal age and mileage
- Water and moisture contamination
- Dirt and road debris
- Corrosion
- Repeated suspension impacts
- Deterioration of bearing lubrication
- Wear from prolonged suspension movement
Once worn, the bearing may no longer rotate smoothly and can develop play, stiffness or noise.
When Should the Bearing Be Replaced?
Replacement should be considered if:
- Knocking or clicking noises are present
- Steering movement feels rough or notchy
- Creaking or grinding is heard from the suspension
- Excessive play is found in the bearing
- The bearing is seized or difficult to rotate
- Corrosion or physical damage is visible
- Shock absorbers or upper suspension mounts are being replaced
Because access often requires dismantling part of the strut assembly, replacing worn bearings while fitting new shock absorbers or suspension mounts can help avoid duplicated labour later.
Porsche 996 / 997 / Boxster 986 / 987 / Cayman 987C Suspension Bearings
Shock absorber bearings are an important but often overlooked part of the Porsche suspension system. While shock absorbers and springs control suspension movement, bearings and mounts allow the assembly to operate smoothly without excessive friction or unwanted movement.
Age, mileage and exposure to road conditions can gradually deteriorate these components. When carrying out a suspension overhaul on a Porsche 996, 997, Boxster 986, Boxster 987 or Cayman 987C, inspecting the associated bearings, top mounts, bump stops and protective components can help identify wear before the suspension is reassembled.
Replacing worn components together can restore a tighter, quieter and more precise suspension system.

The heater boxes form part of the vehicle's heating system, directing heated air toward the cabin when required. The control mechanism allows the heater boxes or associated flaps to open and close so that the flow of warm air can be regulated. Small components such as the control sleeve are important for maintaining correct alignment and controlled movement within this mechanism.
What This Product Does:
- Forms part of the heater box operating mechanism.
- Helps support and guide the associated heater control components.
- Promotes smooth movement of the heater box control mechanism.
- Helps maintain correct alignment during heater operation.
- Supports accurate opening and closing of the associated heater controls.

- Provides an OE-style replacement for compatible classic Porsche applications.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Heater controls becoming stiff or difficult to operate.
- Excessive free play in the heater control mechanism.
- Jerky or inconsistent control movement.
- Heater boxes failing to open or close fully.
- Difficulty switching the cabin heat completely on or off.
- Inconsistent heater output despite moving the controls.
- Rattling or looseness around the heater control mechanism.
- Binding or sticking of associated control components.
- Visible wear, corrosion or physical damage to the sleeve.
- The sleeve has seized around the associated component.
- The original sleeve is missing.
- Wear discovered while servicing the heater boxes or control linkage.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The heater box control system depends on multiple small mechanical components working together with minimal unwanted movement. A worn or seized sleeve can interfere with this operation and prevent the heater boxes from responding correctly to driver input.
- If the sleeve develops excessive wear, the control mechanism may gain unwanted free play. This can reduce the amount of movement transferred to the heater box, potentially preventing it from reaching its fully open or closed position.
- A seized or corroded sleeve can create the opposite problem by increasing resistance. Excessive force may then be required at the heater control, potentially placing additional strain on cables, levers, mounting points and other components.
- Incomplete heater box closure can also allow unwanted hot air to enter the cabin even when the heating system is nominally switched off. Conversely, incomplete opening may reduce available cabin heating when it is needed.

Fits to gearbox mount 91137503109
Improve gearbox support and drivetrain control with this OE Match HD Semi-Solid Gearbox Mount Set. Supplied as a set of 2 mounts comprising 4 halves, these heavy-duty semi-solid mounts are designed for compatible Porsche applications where increased drivetrain stability and more direct response are required.
Fits:
Porsche 911 1987-89 Only for G50 Gearbox equipped cars
High Density transmission mounts are the perfect compromise between stock rubber and our Semi-Solid mounts. Their heavy duty 25% higher durometer rubber construction makes them ideal for performance oriented cars but still allows absorption of vibrations and noise associated with solid mounts. Installs in stock transmission mount hangers replacing worn out factory rubber.
What This Product Does:
- Secures and supports the gearbox within the chassis.
- Is supplied as 2 mounts consisting of 4 halves.
- Provides increased rigidity compared with softer conventional mounts.
- Helps reduce excessive gearbox movement under load.
- Improves drivetrain stability during acceleration and deceleration.
- Helps provide more consistent transmission positioning during gear changes.
- Can contribute to a more direct and precise drivetrain feel.
- Helps control movement during spirited or performance driving.
- Provides a heavy-duty solution for compatible fast-road and motorsport applications.
- Replaces worn, softened, cracked or damaged gearbox mounts.
- Helps maintain more consistent drivetrain alignment.
- Provides an OE Match performance-oriented replacement solution.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Excessive drivetrain movement.
- Clunking or knocking during acceleration or deceleration.
- Movement or jolting when changing gear.
- Gear lever movement as engine load changes.
- Increased drivetrain movement when engaging the clutch.
- Unusual vibration from the transmission area.
- Gear selection feeling less precise or consistent.
- Thumping noises when applying or releasing the throttle.
- Cracked, split or deteriorated original rubber mounts.
- Mount material separating from its associated hardware.
- Visible deformation or sagging.
- Excessive gearbox movement discovered during inspection.
- Damage following heavy road, track or competition use.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Gearbox mounts must keep the transmission securely located while controlling the forces generated by the drivetrain. When conventional mounts deteriorate, excessive gearbox movement can develop.
- This unwanted movement may be felt as clunks, jolts or changes in gear lever position during acceleration, braking and gear changes. It can also place additional movement and stress on associated components such as gear linkages, hoses, wiring and drivetrain connections.
- For performance driving, excessive transmission movement can reduce the precision of the connection between the driver and drivetrain. A gearbox that moves significantly under load may contribute to less consistent shifting and a less controlled response when transitioning on and off the throttle.
- The semi-solid design of this mount set reduces compliance, helping hold the gearbox more securely relative to the chassis. This can improve drivetrain response and provide a firmer, more direct feel.
- However, increased rigidity also means less isolation between the drivetrain and vehicle body. As a result, more mechanical noise and vibration may be transmitted into the cabin compared with standard rubber mounts. This characteristic should be considered when choosing semi-solid mounts for a road vehicle.
