Designed for use on Porsche 986 Boxster, 987 Boxster and Cayman, and 996 Carrera models, the additional spring helps absorb impacts when the suspension approaches the end of its travel. This protects the shock absorber, suspension components and chassis from excessive loads while maintaining ride quality and vehicle control.
Over time, the additional spring can deteriorate due to age, compression cycles, road contamination and exposure to heat and moisture. Replacing worn bump stops is an important part of any suspension overhaul and helps restore factory suspension performance.
What Does the Shock Absorber Additional Spring Do?
The additional spring acts as a progressive cushion during suspension compression.
Its primary functions include:
- Absorbing extreme suspension loads
- Preventing metal-to-metal contact
- Protecting shock absorbers
- Protecting suspension components
- Improving ride comfort
- Maintaining suspension control
- Supporting chassis protection
- Reducing impact harshness
It forms an important part of the suspension system, especially during hard cornering, heavy braking or driving over uneven road surfaces.
Why Do Additional Springs Fail?
Additional springs are constantly subjected to compression, environmental exposure and ageing.
Common causes of failure include:
- Age-related foam deterioration
- Repeated compression cycles
- Road dirt contamination
- Water ingress
- Heat exposure
- UV degradation
- Physical damage during suspension servicing
- General wear and tear
Over time the material can crack, crumble, compress permanently or disintegrate completely.
Symptoms of a Worn Additional Spring
Common signs of failure include:
- Visible cracking or splitting
- Missing sections of foam material
- Deteriorated or crumbling bump stops
- Increased suspension harshness
- Knocking noises over bumps
- Reduced ride quality
- Suspension bottoming out
- Uneven suspension behaviour
Many worn bump stops are only discovered during shock absorber replacement or suspension inspections.
When Should the Additional Spring Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended when:
- Installing new shock absorbers
- Carrying out suspension refurbishment
- The spring shows visible deterioration
- Suspension noises are present
- Ride quality has deteriorated
- The vehicle has covered high mileage
- Performing preventative maintenance
- Completing a Porsche restoration project
Most suspension specialists recommend replacing bump stops whenever dampers are renewed.
Why Replacement Matters
A worn or damaged additional spring can reduce suspension protection and negatively affect ride quality.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Improved suspension performance
- Better ride comfort
- Enhanced shock absorber protection
- Reduced suspension noise
- Improved vehicle control
- Prevention of suspension damage
- Restoration of factory ride characteristics
- Improved long-term reliability
Replacing this inexpensive component during suspension maintenance can significantly improve overall suspension performance.
