Restore the rear suspension top mount area of your Porsche 981 Boxster with this comprehensive overhaul kit. Designed for the rear shock/strut top mount region to replace worn or fatigued top-mount hardware.
Fits:
- Porsche Boxster 981 2.7L 2012-16
- Porsche Boxster 981 S / GTS 3.4L 2012-16
Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10
What This Product Does:
- The rear shock absorber top mount secures the top of the shock or strut assembly to the vehicle body or rear suspension tower. It ensures the damper is correctly located and loaded, and helps absorb vibrations, maintain correct geometry and isolate noise.
- Over time, mounts, washers, nuts and associated hardware fatigue – the mount may sag or shift, washers may wear, the nut may loosen, the bearing (if present) may wear. This reduces suspension precision, can introduce noise (clunks, creaks) and affects handling.
- This kit replaces the top mount nut, washers, mount components and related hardware — restoring the top of the damper assembly to like-new spec, which supports ride quality, handling, durability and quiet operation.
When You Should Consider Replacement:
- Knocking or clunking noises from the rear strut top area when accelerating, decelerating or going over bumps.
- Poor ride quality at the rear, increased vibration or a feeling of looseness in the rear suspension.
- Inconsistent handling or rear feel: e.g., rear end doesn’t feel as controlled or stable in corners.
- You are replacing/rebuilding your rear dampers/shocks or springs: since the top mount hardware is removed anyway, replacing it is efficient and recommended.
- Visible damage or wear: If mount washers are deformed, nuts show signs of loosening, or the mount has shifted — an overhaul kit helps restore it properly.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Restores rear suspension integrity & performance: The top mount plays a key role in how the rear damper responds. A worn mount allows movement or misalignment, reducing tyre contact and degrading handling.
- Eliminates noise and improves comfort: A compromised mount is often the source of rear knocks, rattles or increased harshness — replacing the kit removes this weak link.
- Prevents further damage: If the mount hardware fails, the stress transfers to other components: damper shaft, body mount, spring seat — renewing the top mount stops further failure.
- Cost-effective when servicing: When the shock assembly is out for service, installing the full mount kit avoids future labour for what is essentially an ageing item.

Information
Shock absorber strut mounting, rear.
This mount is designed to provide correct bearing support, mounting geometry, and durable rubber/metal construction for the rear suspension strut assembly. According to parts listings, it fits the rear upper shock mount position.
Porsche 964 1991>> (not Carrera RS)
Diagram ref no 10
• Direct-fit replacement matching OEM dimensions and mounting points.
• Built for the load and motion characteristics of the rear suspension—ensuring accurate alignment and ride stability.
• Application: Rear suspension mount, strut/upper shock mount, Porsche 964 models.
The rear strut mount is subjected to road loads, suspension articulation, vibrations and bearing wear. When the mount becomes worn or the bearing fails, you may experience clunking, excessive movement, misalignment of the rear suspension, or compromised ride quality. Replacing this mount restores proper mounting integrity, correct wheel alignment and helps maintain the factory ride & handling characteristics.

Information
Rennline Rear Monoball Strut Top Mount - Sealed. SET OF 2.
Fits:
Porsche 964*
Porsche 993*
* For cars with factory Boge shocks please call for fitment details. ** Note: RS style spring hats required.
Camber Plates/Strut Mounts - Under extreme conditions, such as road racing and autocross, negative camber is required to keep as much of the tire's contact patch on the road as possible. Stock suspension mounts will not allow you to achieve the necessary amount of negative camber required for this type of performance driving. Rennline's Sealed camber plates incorporate FK motorsports Teflon-lined spherical bearings and eliminate the indistinct feedback associated with factory rubber mounts. Why are Rennline's strut mounts the best ?
• Drastically increased bearing life due to the integrated factory GT3 weather seals.
• FK Motorsports Teflon-lined spherical bearings.
• Rigid bearing mount, not clipped in like some products available.
• Can be used with all factory and aftermarket struts, Including factory non adjustable units. Call for details.
• Fully rebuildable
• CNC machined 6061 anodized aluminum construction with stainless steel hardware.
• Available for front and rear.
• Drastically increased bearing life due to the integrated factory GT3 weather seals.
