Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13
What This Product Does:
- The shock absorber top mount (sometimes called “strut mount” or “upper mount”) attaches the top of the front damper/strut assembly to the vehicle’s body/strut tower. It supports the spring/damper load, allows steering movement (via the bearing), and isolates noise/vibration.
- Over time, the rubber mount may degrade, the bearing can bind or wear, hardware may corrode — leading to poor ride, noise, loss of precision.
- The overhaul kit replaces the mount, bearing and all relevant hardware so the top of your front suspension is restored to correct specification — improving longevity, ride quality, handling, and eliminating common wear symptoms.
When You Should Consider Replacement:
- Knocking, creaking or clunking from the top of the strut tower when driving over bumps or turning the steering wheel.
- Steering or handling feel degraded: less precision, vague feedback, increased body roll, front-end wander.
- Suspension ride quality worsened, front-end noise or vibration transmitted into the cabin.
- You are replacing front shocks/struts: since the top mount must be removed for that job, it’s efficient to replace the mount/bearing/hardware at the same time.
- Mount or bearing visibly worn: If inspection shows the mount rubber cracked, bearing flattened or play exists, the overhaul kit is justified.
- Preserves ride & handling performance: The front suspension’s mount integrity influences tyre contact patch, cornering stability, and steering precision. A worn mount can compromise all of these.
- Eliminates noise & improves NVH: Worn mounts or bearings contribute to noise, creaks, clunks and general poor ride comfort. Replacing them improves refinement and comfort.
- Prevents further damage: If the top mount fails or deforms, the strut, spring seat, bearing or body mounting may suffer damage. A fresh kit protects the rest of the suspension.
- More cost-effective in service: Since the strut top mount is accessed when the strut is removed, it’s efficient to replace the mount kit at the same time rather than later.

Restore the critical upper mounting point of your front suspension with this comprehensive overhaul kit, designed for Porsche 981 Boxster Spyder front strut-tower applications.
Fits:
- Porsche Boxster 981 Spyder 3.8L 2016
Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13
What This Product Does:
- The front shock absorber (strut) top mount (sometimes called “strut mount,” “upper mount,” or “mount cap & bearing”) is the part that mounts the top of the front damper/strut to the vehicle’s body (strut tower). It carries spring and damper load, provides a secure connection to the chassis, and often includes a bearing to allow the strut to rotate with steering movement.
- Over time, the top mount’s rubber or elastomer may degrade, the bearing may develop play or noise, the mount plate may shift, washers/nuts may loosen, dust covers may deteriorate. This results in increased noise, worse ride/handling, and possible mis-alignment of the strut.
- This overhaul kit replaces the mount, bearing and all relevant hardware so you restore that top mount area to like new, ensuring proper load path, better durability, reduced noise and proper steering/handling characteristics.
- Clunking, knocking or creaking noises from the front strut-tower area when going over bumps or during steering input — a typical symptom of a worn mount or bearing.
- Steering feel or front suspension feel has degraded — loose, vague feel, or mis-alignment under load (cornering) can be caused by mount movement or bearing play.
- Ride comfort has worsened — a degraded mount transmits more road vibration or noise into the cabin.
- You are replacing the front shocks/struts or doing front suspension work — since the top mount is removed/loosened for such work, renewing the mount and hardware at the same time is highly recommended.
- Visual inspection may show a cracked or separated mount rubber, bearing play, rusted or worn nuts/bolts, or installer notes of mount movement when the top is pushed.
- Restores front suspension performance & precision: The top mount is key to how the front suspension loads up and behaves. A degraded mount allows unwanted movement under load, which reduces tyre contact patch consistency, reduces handling precision, and can upset steering feel.
- Eliminates noise & improves ride comfort: Many mount failures manifest as clunks, squeaks, or increased vibration. The full kit replacement addresses the entire assembly, not just one failing piece.
- Prevents more serious damage: If the mount is loose or the bearing is worn, the load path through the strut stack may shift, leading to premature damper shaft wear or strut tower load concentrations.
- Cost-effective timing: Since the top mount requires strut removal or top tower access, doing the full kit while you have that access is efficient and avoids re-doing labour.

Refresh the front suspension of your Porsche 986 Boxster with this comprehensive top mount overhaul kit. The kit includes top mounts bearings, bump stop, dust covers, washer plates and all necessary hardware. It is designed for front axle fitment and ensures direct replacement, eliminating play, noise and restoring handling.
Fits:
- Porsche Boxster 986 2.5L 1997-99
- Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L 1999-02
- Porsche Boxster S 986 3.2L 1999-02

Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11
What This Product Does:
- The top mount (or strut mount) is the interface between the shock/strut assembly and the vehicle’s body structure (strut tower). It carries the load of the spring/damper and supports the assembly while allowing the strut to pivot during steering via its integrated bearing.
- Over time, the mount rubber degrades, the bearing wears, and the associated hardware can corrode or fatigue. The kit replaces not only the mount but also the bearing and supporting hardware (stop plates, washers, bump stops, dust covers) to restore front suspension performance and eliminate unwanted noise or movement.
- A typical “overhaul kit” includes all necessary parts for the top mount region—ensuring everything works together correctly rather than just replacing a single component.
Signs Of Needing Replacement:
- Suspension noise or clunking: Worn top mounts or bearings often produce knocking or creaking noises when going over bumps or when steering. Replacing the mount and bearing eliminates these (noise, vibration, harshness) symptoms.
- Steering / handling feel: A degraded top mount or bearing can lead to vague steering, reduced feedback, or front-end movement under load (cornering). A correct mount restores the intended geometry and feel.
- Wear & fatigue prevention: If a mount/bearing fails, it can accelerate wear on the strut shaft, spring seat, and other suspension components. A full kit pre-emptively replaces aged components.
- Precision & alignment: Suspension geometry matters. A worn mount may allow unwanted movement in the strut tower area, compromising handling.
- Cost-effective during service: Since the top mount is accessed when the strut/damper is removed, replacing it as part of an overhaul is efficient—avoids a second labour event later when failure occurs.

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.
- 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.
- 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.

What This Product Does:
- The top mount (strut mount) is the interface between the top of your front shock/strut assembly and the vehicle’s body (the strut turret or tower). It supports loads from the spring and damper, allows strut rotation/steering movement (via the bearing) and isolates road noise/vibration from the body.
- Over time, the mounts wear: rubber becomes fatigued, bearings get play, hardware corrodes, dust boots degrade, bump stops deteriorate. This leads to unwanted movement, noise, steering issues, or sub-par suspension behaviour.
- The overhaul kit replaces the mount, the bearing, and all ancillary hardware (dust covers, bump stops, washers, lock nuts) so the top of your strut assembly is restored to a like-new condition — improving longevity, reducing noise, improving steering feel and restoring correct suspension geometry.
- You notice clunking or knocking noises from the top of the front strut tower when driving over bumpy roads or during steering inputs — a failing mount or bearing often causes this.
- You hear creaking or squeaking when steering or as the suspension cycles — indication of worn bearing or mount.
- You feel reduced steering precision or vague handling, especially under load — the strut top may be moving or deflecting.
- You're replacing your front shocks/struts or doing front suspension work—since the top mount must be removed, replacing the full kit while you’re in there is good preventative maintenance.
- The mount or hardware is beyond its service life — high mileage, harsh environment, or compromised previous repairs.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Safety & ride quality: The top mount is a key structural point. If it’s worn, suspension movement can become non-controlled, which can degrade ride comfort, dynamic response, and safety.
- Noise & comfort: Old mounts often let vibration or noise transmit into the cabin (knocks, creaks). A fresh mount kit eliminates many of these NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) symptoms.
- Steering & geometry preservation: On a sports car like a Porsche, correct suspension geometry is essential. A compromised mount allows unintended movement under load, which can upset camber/caster alignment, tyre contact patch and therefore handling.
- Cost effectiveness: Since the front strut top mount is accessed during strut replacement or front suspension work, installing the kit at the same time avoids having to redo labour later.
- Prevent further damage: If the mount fails completely, more serious damage to the strut assembly or body mount could result. Replacing proactively prevents that risk.

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.
