Front suspension strut mount / bearing support for early Porsche 924, 924S and 944 models. This component mounts between the shock absorber and chassis body structure at the top of the front strut and provides pivotal support and smooth rotation of the strut assembly, while also cushioning vibration and absorbing load forces.
Sold each, 2 required per vehicle.
Fits:
Porsche 924 1976 - 1985
Porsche 924S 1986 - 1988
Porsche 944 1982 - 1988

Manufactured to OE standards, it replicates the factory arrangement of rubber bonded bearing with correct internal race, outer shell and mounting surfaces. It restores proper strut behaviour, correct top mount geometry, quiet ride, and ensures long-term durability under road loads.
• Position on Vehicle: Front suspension — strut top mount bearing (front shock absorber top)
• Part Cross-References / Alternatives: OE number 944 343 071 01, supersedes 944 343 071 00.
• Material & Construction: Rubber-bonded steel bearing and mount assembly, designed for vertical load, lateral motion and rotational movement of the strut; built to OE mount geometry to maintain alignment and suppress noise.
The strut mount bearing is a critical link in the front suspension system - it supports the shock absorber, handles steering loads, and ensures smooth motion of the strut top during articulation. If the mount is worn or the bearing seized, you may experience:
• Excessive play or noise from the front suspension top area
• Steering vibration or oscillation during turning
• Misalignment of the strut assembly leading to uneven tyre wear
• Reduced ride comfort and increased road harshness
Replacing with this correctly mount restores original mount geometry, eliminates play or noise and supports accurate alignment and handling.
When and why to replace:
• The shock absorber top mount is creaking, knocking or making noise when steering or hitting bumps
• Steering feels vague, the front feels loose or there is abnormal tyre wear
• You are doing a front suspension rebuild or installing new shocks and want all mount components refreshed
• The top mount rubber appears cracked, collapsed or the bearing shows rust / seizing

Porsche Front Shock Absorber Parts | Design911 Suspension Components for Comfort, Control & Handling Precision
Front shock absorber parts are crucial to your Porsche’s suspension system, ensuring smooth ride quality, consistent wheel contact, and stable handling. Working together with coil springs, dampers, and mounting components, these parts absorb road impacts and reduce vibration — keeping your Porsche composed and responsive in all driving conditions. A well-maintained front shock absorber assembly delivers the precise steering feedback, grip, and comfort expected from a high-performance vehicle.
At Design911, we offer a wide selection of front shock absorber parts, including mounts, top bearings, bump stops, dust covers, washers, and hardware kits. Each component is designed for perfect fitment, durability, and performance. Whether for routine servicing, restoration, or suspension upgrades, our range ensures your Porsche’s suspension system remains balanced, refined, and road-ready.
What Do Front Shock Absorber Parts Do?
Front shock absorber parts form a critical link in your suspension assembly, helping the dampers and springs function effectively while maintaining chassis balance.
Core Functions:
• Support the shock absorber assembly and maintain correct positioning.
• Reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) from road impacts.
• Allow smooth, controlled compression and rebound of the suspension.
• Protect the shock absorber from dust, dirt, and fluid contamination.
• Ensure consistent ride height and suspension performance.
Each part plays a vital role in maintaining Porsche’s signature blend of agility, precision, and comfort.
Why Do Front Shock Absorber Parts Fail or Degrade?
Continuous movement, heat, and exposure to the elements cause front suspension components to wear or deteriorate over time.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Perished rubber mounts or bushings reducing shock absorption.
• Corroded bolts or mounting plates affecting alignment.
• Cracked or split dust covers allowing dirt ingress.
• Worn bearings causing creaking or uneven damping.
• Age-related material fatigue reducing effectiveness.
When these parts fail, symptoms can include knocking noises, uneven ride height, poor steering feel, or harsh suspension response — all indicators that replacement is needed to restore performance and comfort.
Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Front Shock Absorber Parts?
Replacing worn components restores your suspension’s performance and ensures precise steering and comfort. Upgrading to reinforced or performance-spec parts improves chassis response and durability, especially for spirited driving or track use.
Key Benefits:
• Restores smooth ride quality and suspension balance.
• Improves steering accuracy and road feedback.
• Reduces vibration, noise, and harshness.
• Constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials.
