Support mount for front axle final drive. Porsche Cayenne 955 / 957  ❭  95534933700

The part reference 955 349 337 00 is a rubber mounting / support mount for the front-axle final drive / differential, isolating and supporting the front differential (front drive unit) relative to the chassis. There are 3 of the same on each car, Price is Each

Its purpose is to absorb and damp vibrations, reduce noise transmitted to the chassis, and accommodate slight relative motion between the drivetrain and the vehicle body

Common failure modes / deterioration

Rubber degradation (cracking, hardening, tearing)

Over time, the rubber can become brittle, crack, or split from repeated stress cycles, heat, chemical exposure (oil, road salt, etc.). This reduces its damping ability.

Delamination / bond failure

The bonding between the rubber and the metal interfaces can fail, leading to slippage or separation under load.

Excessive deformation / sagging

As the rubber softens or wears, the mount may deform under load, causing misalignment or increased movement under torque.

Fatigue / wear from repeated cycles

Especially under harsh driving conditions (off-road, heavy loads, aggressive acceleration/shifting), the stress cycles on the mount accelerate wear. Some aftermarket writeups claim that the factory rubber design is prone to “premature Drive Shaft Support failure” because of constant stress on the rubber.

Heat / ozone / environmental damage

Exposure to high temperatures, undercarriage heat, moisture, road debris, and ozone accelerates rubber aging.

Load shift or impact damage

If the vehicle strikes a pothole or the differential experiences shock loads, the mount may crack or tear.
