Renew the upper mount assembly of your front strut towers with this comprehensive kit designed for Porsche 996 C2 1997-2005. This kit includes the top mount, precision bearing and all necessary mounting hardware—lock plates, washers, dust caps and more.
Fits:
- Porsche 996 C2 3.4L 1997-08/01
- Porsche 996 C2 3.6L 09/01-2005
Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11
What This Product Does:
- The front strut (shock absorber) top mount is the connection point where the top of the suspension strut attaches to the car’s body (strut tower). It supports loads from the spring and damper, allows steering pivot (via bearing) and isolates the mount from road noise/ vibration.
- Inside that mount is a bearing to handle rotation as the front wheels steer, and various hardware/plates to secure the assembly.
- Over time, rubber mounts can deteriorate, bearings develop wear or play, mounting plates may corrode, dust covers degrade — this leads to noise (clunks, creaks), reduced ride comfort, compromised steering feel or alignment issues.
- The overhaul kit replaces the top mount, bearing and all associated supporting hardware so you restore that upper strut interface.
When You Should Consider Replacement:
- Clunking, creaking, or knocking noises from the front suspension, especially when turning or going over bumps, often signal worn mounts or bearings.
- If the steering feels vague, resists turning, or doesn’t return to center smoothly, the top mount bearing may be binding or worn.
- A degraded mount allows unwanted movement between the strut and body, resulting in increased harshness, poor damping response, or “floaty” handling.
- Always replace the top mount and bearing when fitting new front shocks or coilovers.
- These are wear-matched components, and reusing old mounts can undermine the benefits of new suspension.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Restores handling & ride quality: On a performance car like a Porsche, the front suspension’s mount integrity is critical. A worn mount allows movement under load, reducing handling precision, altering tyre contact patches or upset steering response.
- Eliminates noise & NVH issues: A degraded top mount/bearing often causes unpleasant noises from the front suspension — creaks when turning the wheel, clunks over bumps, rattles from the top mount. Replacing rectifies the source.
- Pre-emptive maintenance saves cost: Since the front strut top mount is only easily accessed when removing the strut assembly or front tower, replacing the full mount kit while you’re working in that area is far more efficient than doing parts piecemeal later.
- Prevents escalation of damage: A failing top mount could lead to bearing failure, strut shaft wear, mount plate fatigue or body mount damage — addressing the mount prevents cascading failures.
