Front shock absorber,
for cars with Standard chassis (M029).
This OE Match front strut is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the original front dampers on standard-suspension (M029) Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman (model 982, 2017 onward). It matches the original strut’s mounting geometry, dimensions, and damping characteristics, ensuring that ride comfort, handling balance, and suspension behaviour remain factory-correct after installation.
Sold individually, two struts required for a full front-end refresh.

• Position: Front suspension strut — sold each (left or right); two required for a full front-end refresh.
• Superseded Part Number: 982413029B; 982413029J replaces the older part number.
This front strut absorbs shocks and road irregularities, dampens suspension movement, and controls rebound and compression. It keeps the front wheels in stable contact with the road surface, ensures predictable handling under braking, cornering, and acceleration, and maintains suspension geometry to provide a smooth, controlled ride.
By replacing worn or weak front struts, you restore proper suspension control - reducing bounce, front-end instability, and handling vagueness, while improving comfort and safety.
Suspension struts degrade over time due to fluid leakage, internal wear, and repeated stress from road use. When front struts wear out:
• The ride becomes soft, bouncy or uncontrolled over bumps.
• Handling may become vague or unpredictable, with reduced cornering precision or increased body roll.
• Braking stability and contact with the road may suffer, reducing safety and comfort.
Replacing worn struts restores damping performance, ride quality, and suspension control - ensuring your 718 Boxster or Cayman behaves as originally intended.
When to Replace. You should consider replacing the front struts if you experience any of the following:
• Excessive bouncing or harshness over bumps
• Reduced ride comfort or increased vibration
• Unstable steering response or poor handling during cornering/braking
• Fluid leaks from existing dampers
• Age, high mileage, or previous suspension use - as part of maintenance or suspension refresh.
