Front bonnet dampers set of 2 Porsche 991 / 981 Boxster/Cayman / 718 (982) Boxster/Cayman  ❭  99151155100

Front bonnet dampers set of 2 by OE Match for Porsche 991 (911), 981 Boxster/Cayman and 718 (982) Boxster/Cayman models, supplied as a pair for the front lid.

What This Product Does These front lid gas struts support and control the movement of the bonnet so it can be opened and closed smoothly and remain held in the raised position.

Functions

• Support the weight of the front bonnet during opening
• Control the bonnet lifting and closing movement
• Help keep the lid securely raised when open
• Assist in restoring factory-style bonnet operation after wear

Symptoms of Fault

• Bonnet slowly drops or will not stay open, especially in colder weather
• Jerky or uneven bonnet movement
• Visible oil misting or leakage on the damper body
• Knocking or clicking noises as the bonnet is raised or lowered

Why Replacement MattersFront bonnet dampers lose gas pressure over time, which can make the lid feel heavier and prone to dropping. Renewing them as a pair helps restore smooth, predictable bonnet operation and reduces the risk of relying on worn or inconsistent supports.

FAQs

• Are these supplied as a pair? Yes, this listing is for a set of two front bonnet dampers.
• Do they fit cars with standard bodywork? They are intended for vehicles within the listed model and year coverage; check for non-standard front-end modifications before ordering.
• Should both dampers be replaced together? It is generally recommended to renew bonnet struts in pairs to keep lift and support consistent side to side.
• Is special tooling required to install them? Fitting usually involves releasing the existing clip fixings and refitting the new units; many owners have this work carried out by a competent technician.
