Front air suspension shock absorber, SET OF 2. Porsche 971 Panamera 2016-20

Front air suspension shock absorber, SET OF 2.
This set includes two front air suspension struts engineered to directly replace factory units for the Panamera 971 series fitted with air suspension systems. Includes:
1x 971616037N - OE Match front left air strut
1x 971616038N - OE Match front right air strut

Fits:
Porsche 971 Panamera 2016 - 2020

• Position: Front axle – left and right air suspension strut assemblies

• Function: Absorbs road shocks, controls ride height, integrates air spring and damper for consistent ride comfort and handling; supports vehicle’s dynamic suspension management.

•  Includes: 1 × left strut (OE ref no 971616037N), 1 × right strut (OE ref no 971616038N)

•  Applications: Ideal when either or both front struts show signs of air loss, vehicle sag, front-end ride inconsistency, harsh ride, or as part of a front suspension overhaul/upgrade.


When front air struts fail or degrade, symptoms often include:
• Vehicle front-end sagging or uneven ride height
• Excessive bounce, harsh ride or reduced control over imperfections
• Front axle handling feeling vague, poor body control, or air-suspension warnings
• Uneven tyre wear or compromised alignment due to incorrect ride height.

Replacing both struts simultaneously ensures side-to-side ride and handling symmetry, restores correct front ride height and stabilises the suspension geometry. This not only improves comfort but also protects other suspension components from compensating for worn struts.

When to replace:
• Either front strut shows oil/air leak or audible hiss
• Vehicle sagging, warning message in air-suspension system
• Car of high mileage or track use where performance consistency is important
• During a front suspension service or upgrade to performance air struts
