Shock Absorber Parts FRONT

Front Shock Absorber Top Mount & Overhaul Kit.
Restore the critical upper mounting point of your front suspension with this comprehensive overhaul kit.

Fits:

• Porsche Boxster 987 MKII 2.9L 2009-2012 (For Cars With PASM)
• Porsche Boxster S 987 MKII 3.4L 2009-2012 (For Cars With PASM)

Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15

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.
  
  

When You Should Consider Replacement:

• 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.
