Front Shock Absorber Top Mount & Overhaul Kit. Porsche 987 Boxster 2005-08 with PASM

Front Shock Absorber Top Mount & Overhaul Kit.
Restore the top mount assembly of your Porsche 987 Boxster's front suspension with this complete overhaul kit. The kit includes top mounts and full set of related bearing, mount and hardware components. This ensures a comprehensive replacement of the front strut top mount, eliminating play, restoring mount integrity and renewing suspension behaviour.

Fits:

• Porsche Boxster 987 2.7L 2005 -08/08 Cars with PASM
• Porsche Boxster 987 S 3.2/3.4L 2005-08/08  Cars with PASM

What This Product Does:

• The top mount (sometimes called “strut mount” or “shock absorber top mount”) is the connection between the top of the front shock/strut assembly and the vehicle’s body (strut tower). It supports the load of the spring/damper, allows the strut to swivel for steering input, and isolates vibration/noise.
• Over time, the mount rubber or bearing can degrade, which reduces performance, adds noise, lets the strut shift slightly under load, or causes steering feel degradation. An overhaul kit means you’re replacing not just the top mount but all the relevant top-mount components to restore the assembly to like-new specification.
  
  

Signs Of Needing Replacement:

• Safety & performance: A worn top mount can compromise how the front suspension behaves under load—knocks, poor steering feel, misalignment of the strut and reduced contact patch of the tyre.
  
• Noise/vibration issues: Old or damaged mounts can introduce clunks, creaks, or vibrations when going over bumps or steering, which degrade the driving experience and signal mount degradation.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters:

• Camber/caster control & geometry: Especially on sports cars like Porsche, the front strut mount is integral to maintaining correct geometry. A compromised mount allows movement under load, changing angle and affecting tyre wear or handling.
  
• Cost-effectiveness: Since the strut top mount is accessed when you’re doing front suspension work (shocks/struts removal), replacing the mount kit at the same time avoids future labour costs and ensures you don’t just replace part of the assembly.
