This is for the shock absorber as an additional spring, also known as a bump stop, stopper or helper spring, designed for the front strut assemblies on Porsche 997 models equipped with the Sport chassis (option codes I030 or I480). Front axle suspension assembly for Porsche 996/997 (1998–2012), serving as a rubber stop or bushing integrated into the strut structure.
Fits:
Porsche 997 C2 / C2S / C4 / C4S MKI 2005-08 - Cars with SPORT chassis (Option code: I030/I480)
Porsche 997 C2 / C2S / C4 / C4S MKII 2009-12 - Cars with SPORT chassis (Option code: I030)
This acts as a progressive load-bearing element, cushioning the suspension when the strut nears full compression. It helps prevent harsh bottoming-out, protecting both the strut and chassis from damage during aggressive driving or over bumps.
These components maintain ride quality and handling performance, especially under heavy loading or spirited cornering, keeping the suspension linear and controlled.
Common Issues & Considerations
Wear or Deterioration: Over time, the rubber can compress, crack, or lose elasticity, diminishing its effectiveness. This can lead to harsher suspension impacts at full compression.
Noise or Harsh Feedback: A worn or hardened bump stop can transmit noise or impacts through the cabin, particularly over rough roads or speed bumps.
Sport vs. Standard Suspension: These parts are specific to Sport chassis models. Non-sport setups may not have the same bump stops or use different part numbers, so swapping or replacing must be done accordingly.
