Front Shock absorber compensation ring.
A genuine Porsche compensation ring (shim/spacer ring) for the front shock absorber/strut assembly. It provides the correct spacing and seating interface within the front strut/shock assembly, helping components locate properly and clamp securely. This supports correct assembly stack height and helps prevent looseness, misalignment, or unwanted movement.

Installed as part of the front damper/strut mounting hardware, the compensation ring acts as a precision spacer to ensure correct fitment between adjoining suspension components. By maintaining the intended tolerances and seating surfaces, it helps preserve correct suspension operation, reduces the risk of noise or play, and supports accurate alignment.
Suspension hardware relies on precise tolerances. A worn, incorrect, or missing compensation ring can affect clamping force, component alignment, and overall assembly integrity - potentially leading to noises, premature wear, or geometry changes. Using a genuine Porsche ring ensures factory-correct thickness and fit, preserving the suspension performance Porsche engineered.
When to replace:
• During front shock/strut replacement or rebuild
• Ring is corroded, distorted, or damaged during disassembly
• Persistent front-end noise traced to strut hardware (after inspection)
• Suspension work requiring correct factory stack height/spacers
• Replacing superseded part 99134351300
