Diagram ref no 1

This shock absorber regulates the suspension’s movement by absorbing and damping motion as the rear wheels react to road surfaces, bumps or dynamic forces. It ensures the rear end remains stable and controlled during acceleration, braking, cornering, or over uneven surfaces. By restoring proper damping performance, it helps maintain ride comfort, correct suspension geometry, and sharp handling characteristics that Porsche intended.

Shock absorbers degrade over time through wear, leaking seals, and internal fatigue. When rear dampers lose effectiveness, the suspension becomes uncontrolled: leading to poor ride comfort, excessive bouncing over bumps, reduced traction, worsened handling, and increased strain on tyres and suspension components. Replacing with a new damper restores proper damping performance - ensuring ride comfort, handling precision, stability, and safety. This is particularly important for a sports car like the 982 Boxster / Cayman, where chassis balance and dynamic response are critical to the driving experience.

When to replace
•  You should consider replacing the rear shock absorbers if you notice any of the following:
•  Bouncing or excessive vertical motion over bumps.
•  Reduced stability under braking, cornering or on uneven roads.
•  Unusual “floating” ride, lack of suspension control, or degraded handling feel.
•  Fluid leaks from the old dampers or visibly worn / damaged units.
•  You are performing suspension overhaul, upgrading ride quality, or restoring front/rear suspension on the car.
