Product Information
Product Information
Front air suspension shock absorber, SET OF 2.
This set includes two front air suspension struts engineered to directly replace factory units for the Panamera 971 series fitted with air suspension systems. Includes:
1x 971616037N - OE Match front left air strut
1x 971616038N - OE Match front right air strut

Fits:
Porsche 971 Panamera 2016 - 2020

Position: Front axle – left and right air suspension strut assemblies

 Function: Absorbs road shocks, controls ride height, integrates air spring and damper for consistent ride comfort and handling; supports vehicle’s dynamic suspension management.

•  Includes: 1 × left strut (OE ref no 971616037N), 1 × right strut (OE ref no 971616038N)

•  Applications: Ideal when either or both front struts show signs of air loss, vehicle sag, front-end ride inconsistency, harsh ride, or as part of a front suspension overhaul/upgrade.


When front air struts fail or degrade, symptoms often include:
 Vehicle front-end sagging or uneven ride height
 Excessive bounce, harsh ride or reduced control over imperfections
 Front axle handling feeling vague, poor body control, or air-suspension warnings
 Uneven tyre wear or compromised alignment due to incorrect ride height.

Replacing both struts simultaneously ensures side-to-side ride and handling symmetry, restores correct front ride height and stabilises the suspension geometry. This not only improves comfort but also protects other suspension components from compensating for worn struts.

When to replace:
 Either front strut shows oil/air leak or audible hiss
 Vehicle sagging, warning message in air-suspension system
 Car of high mileage or track use where performance consistency is important
 During a front suspension service or upgrade to performance air struts

Product Information
Product Information
Air suspension solenoid valve block.

Fits:

Porsche 971.1 Panamera - 2017 to 2020
Porsche 971.2 Panamera - 2021 to 2023
Porsche 9J1 Taycan - 2020 onwards

The valve block is a direct replacement for the vehicle's failing OE valve block. An air suspension solenoid valve block distributes air from the compressor to the air springs and air struts. Over time, valve block O-rings can dry rot and leak air causing the compressor to overwork or allow moisture to degrade the electrical solenoids components.

About OE Match Air Suspension

Porsche Front Air Suspension Shock Absorbers | Design911 Adaptive Suspension Components for Comfort & Control

Front air suspension shock absorbers are advanced components that combine air springs and dampers into one precision-engineered unit. They deliver variable ride height, superior comfort, and adaptive damping to match your Porsche’s performance demands. By continuously adjusting air pressure and shock resistance, these systems ensure exceptional handling stability, reduced body roll, and a smooth, controlled ride on any surface.

At Design911, we supply a complete range of front air suspension shock absorbers and related components, built to match the engineering standards of high-performance vehicles. Our air dampers are crafted from high-strength materials and advanced sealing technology for long-lasting durability and reliability. Ideal for maintenance, restoration, or performance upgrades, these parts restore your Porsche’s refined comfort, ride quality, and precision handling.

What Do Front Air Suspension Shock Absorbers Do?

Front air suspension shock absorbers replace traditional coil spring and damper systems with air-filled bellows and adaptive damping control.

Core Functions:
• Support vehicle weight and adjust ride height via air pressure.
• Adapt damping force automatically to driving conditions.
• Reduce body roll and vibration for smoother handling.
• Improve comfort, cornering stability, and braking balance.
• Integrate with Porsche’s electronic suspension control systems for dynamic response.

These systems provide an ideal balance of performance, comfort, and control — delivering the signature Porsche driving experience in every condition.

Why Do Front Air Suspension Shock Absorbers Fail or Degrade?

Air suspension components experience high pressure, constant motion, and environmental exposure — leading to natural wear over time.

Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Air leaks from worn seals, bellows, or connections.
• Compressor or valve block malfunction causing pressure imbalance.
• Damaged shock absorber pistons or leaking hydraulic fluid.
• Electrical or sensor faults within adaptive damping systems.
• Corrosion or debris damaging air lines and fittings.

When these parts fail, symptoms may include uneven ride height, suspension warning lights, rough ride quality, or excessive bouncing — all indicators that inspection or replacement is necessary.

Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Front Air Suspension Shock Absorbers?

Replacing worn or leaking air suspension dampers restores your Porsche’s original comfort, stability, and ride control. Upgraded or remanufactured units offer improved reliability and performance for demanding driving conditions.

Key Benefits:
• Restores correct ride height and suspension function.
• Improves handling precision and ride comfort.
• Prevents air leaks and uneven damping response.
• Compatible with Porsche adaptive suspension systems (PASM, PSM).
• Available for Porsche 911, Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan models.
• Ideal for servicing, restorations, or performance enhancements.

Design911’s Porsche front air suspension shock absorbers provide outstanding engineering and reliability — ensuring your Porsche performs smoothly, safely, and confidently on every drive.
