Front Suspension Link Pin Seal
Sold each - 2 required per car
The Porsche 356 front suspension link pin seal
is a critical component designed to protect the link pin assembly from dirt,
moisture, and debris. Fitted to the front suspension of all Porsche 356 models,
this seal helps retain lubrication while preventing premature wear of the king
and link pin system — a cornerstone of the 356’s precise and lightweight
handling.

Though small, link pin seals play a vital role in suspension longevity. Over time, age, heat cycles, and road contamination cause seals to harden, crack, or shrink, allowing grease to escape and contaminants to enter the suspension joint. Replacing worn seals is essential to maintaining correct steering feel, suspension geometry, and long-term component health on your classic Porsche 356.
What Does a Porsche 356 Link Pin Seal Do?
The front suspension link pin seal
sits at the outer ends of the link pins, forming a protective barrier between
the suspension joint and the external environment. Its purpose is to:
- Retain grease within the link pin assembly
- Prevent ingress of water, grit, and road debris
- Reduce wear on link pins and bushes
- Maintain smooth, controlled front suspension movement
Without an effective seal, metal-on-metal wear accelerates rapidly, leading to looseness, uneven tyre wear, and compromised steering precision.
Why Do Front Suspension Link Pin Seals Fail?
On Porsche 356 models, link pin seals commonly
fail due to:
- Age-related rubber hardening and cracking
- Grease contamination and degradation
- Long-term storage without maintenance
- Exposure to moisture and road debris
Even low-mileage vehicles are prone to seal failure simply due to age. Original or old replacement seals may no longer provide adequate protection, making proactive replacement essential during suspension servicing or restoration work.
When Should You Replace Porsche 356 Link Pin Seals?
You should replace the Porsche 356 front
suspension link pin seals when:
- Performing a front suspension rebuild or overhaul
- Replacing link pins, bushes, or king pins
- Grease leakage is visible around the link pin area
- Steering feels vague or inconsistent
- Restoring or recommissioning a long-stored vehicle
Replacing seals early helps prevent costly suspension wear and preserves the original driving characteristics Porsche 356 models are renowned for.
At Design911, we supply high-quality Porsche suspension components to support accurate restorations and reliable classic driving.

The OE Match Wishbone Front Bush, Fits in the Rear, is a high-quality replacement suspension bushing designed to provide a secure yet flexible connection between the wishbone (control arm) and the vehicle chassis. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, durability and performance, this bonded rubber bush helps absorb road shocks, reduce vibration and maintain precise suspension geometry.

Installed in the rear mounting position of the wishbone, this bush plays a critical role in controlling suspension movement while allowing the necessary articulation of the control arm during driving. Constructed from high-quality rubber and metal components, it is engineered to withstand continuous suspension loads, road impacts and environmental exposure while maintaining ride comfort and handling precision.
What This Product Does:
- Connects the wishbone (control arm) to the vehicle chassis.
- Allows controlled suspension movement and articulation.
- Absorbs road shocks and vibration.
- Maintains correct suspension geometry and wheel alignment.
- Reduces noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
- Supports stable braking, steering and cornering performance.
- Helps ensure predictable vehicle handling characteristics.
- Protects surrounding suspension components from excessive stress.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Clunking or knocking noises from the suspension.
- Excessive movement within the control arm assembly.
- Vague or imprecise steering feel.
- Uneven or accelerated tyre wear.
- Poor wheel alignment.
- Vehicle wandering or pulling during driving.
- Reduced stability under braking or cornering.
- Increased vibration transmitted into the cabin.
- Visible cracking, splitting or deterioration of the rubber bush.
- Excessive suspension play detected during inspection.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Suspension bushes are subjected to constant movement, road impacts, vibration, temperature fluctuations and environmental contaminants. Over time, the rubber material can harden, crack, deform or separate from its metal housing, reducing its ability to control suspension movement effectively.
- A worn wishbone bush can allow excessive suspension movement, negatively affecting steering precision, braking stability and tyre wear. If left unresolved, additional strain may be placed on ball joints, control arms, tyres and other suspension components, potentially leading to more extensive repairs.
- Replacing a worn wishbone bush restores proper suspension geometry, improves ride quality and enhances vehicle handling. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, reliable vibration isolation and long-term durability, helping maintain the comfort, safety and performance characteristics expected from your Porsche.

The big question that most owners have about control arm ball joints is "how do I know when my ball joints need replacing?" Most often you'll hear it said that if the boot is torn or cracked, the control arm needs to be replaced. While this isn't a great indicator, it should raise suspicion as to the condition of the ball joint. Other indicators are knocking sounds in the front suspension or noticeable play in the control arm. The play can be checked by pushing up on the control arm (toward the spindle) near the ball joint. Noticeable play between the control arm and the ball joint indicates that the control arm needs to be replaced.
