Designed for compatible Porsche applications, this mount forms an important connection between the front shock absorber assembly and the vehicle body or chassis.
Cars WITH SPORT Suspension M030Porsche 996 C2 1998-05
Diagram Ref No 3
The shock absorber is responsible for controlling suspension compression and rebound as the vehicle travels over bumps, dips and uneven road surfaces. Its supporting mount keeps the damper correctly positioned while transferring suspension loads into the vehicle structure and helping isolate unwanted vibration and harshness.
Front shock absorber mounts are continually subjected to road impacts, steering and cornering forces, vibration and repeated suspension movement. Over time, rubber isolation material and other parts of the mount can deteriorate, crack, deform or develop excessive play.
This OE Match Front Shock Absorber Supporting Mount provides a high-quality replacement for a worn, loose or damaged original component, helping restore correct damper support and predictable suspension behaviour.
What This Product Does:
- Secures and supports the front shock absorber assembly.
- Maintains correct positioning of the damper relative to the vehicle.
- Transfers suspension forces between the shock absorber and chassis.
- Supports controlled suspension compression and rebound.
- Helps isolate vibration and road harshness from the vehicle body.
- Reduces unwanted movement at the shock absorber mounting point.
- Helps maintain consistent front suspension behaviour.
- Supports predictable handling and vehicle stability.
- Works with the shock absorber and associated front suspension components.
- Replaces a worn, cracked, loose or damaged supporting mount.
- Provides an OE-style replacement for compatible Porsche applications.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Knocking or clunking from the front suspension.
- Rattling when travelling over rough roads.
- Noise when driving over bumps or potholes.
- Excessive movement at the shock absorber mounting point.
- Increased vibration or harshness transmitted into the body.
- Front suspension that feels loose or less controlled.
- Changes in steering or handling feel.
- Abnormal movement within the shock absorber assembly.
- Visible cracking or deterioration of rubber components.
- Rubber separating from the mount structure.
- Distortion or physical damage to the mount.
- Corrosion around the mount or associated hardware.
- Loose or damaged mounting fasteners.
- Deterioration discovered while replacing the front shock absorbers.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The shock absorber can only control suspension movement effectively when it is securely attached to the vehicle. If its supporting mount becomes worn or develops excessive play, some suspension movement can occur at the mounting point instead of being properly controlled by the damper.
- This unwanted movement may produce knocking or rattling noises and can reduce the precision of the front suspension. On a performance vehicle, deterioration within a suspension mounting point can affect steering response and the consistency of the chassis during cornering and braking.
- The mount also helps isolate vibration between the suspension and vehicle structure. As the isolation material deteriorates, additional road noise, vibration and harshness may be transmitted into the cabin.
- Severe deterioration can also place additional stress on the shock absorber, mounting hardware and surrounding chassis attachment points.
- Replacing a worn or damaged component with this OE Match Front Shock Absorber Supporting Mount helps restore secure damper location, reduce unwanted suspension movement and maintain predictable front-end behaviour.

Designed to provide OE-style fitment, functionality and durability, this front suspension top mount connects the upper section of the shock absorber strut assembly to the vehicle's body structure.
Also known as a front suspension strut top mount, shock absorber upper support or suspension mounting, this component plays an important role in maintaining suspension stability, absorbing vibration and supporting the correct positioning of the front shock absorber.
Available in left-hand and right-hand versions, the OE MATCH Front Shock Absorber Top Strut Support is designed for applicable vehicles equipped with standard suspension or the M030 sports suspension option.
The strut support incorporates metal and rubber elements to provide a combination of structural strength and controlled flexibility. It helps isolate vibration and impact forces transmitted from the road through the suspension system.
During normal driving, the front suspension is subjected to continuous forces generated by steering, braking, cornering, acceleration and uneven road surfaces.
Over time, the rubber elements within the original mounting can deteriorate due to ageing, repeated compression, vibration and exposure to environmental conditions.
A worn or damaged top strut support may cause knocking noises, excessive suspension movement, increased vibration, reduced steering precision or deterioration in ride quality.
The OE MATCH replacement provides a practical solution for restoring the original upper shock absorber mounting arrangement without replacing the complete suspension strut assembly when the remaining components are serviceable.
Ideal for suspension repairs, front shock absorber replacement, chassis refurbishment and preventative maintenance, this component helps maintain the ride comfort, stability and handling characteristics expected from a Porsche 911.
What This Product Does:
The front shock absorber top strut support provides the upper mounting connection between the suspension strut and the vehicle's body structure.
It helps retain the shock absorber in its correct position while managing forces and vibration transmitted through the front suspension system.
Its key functions include:
- Shock Absorber Mounting: Provides a secure upper mounting point for the front suspension strut.
- Suspension Support: Helps maintain the intended positioning and stability of the shock absorber assembly.
- Vibration Isolation: Uses its resilient mounting elements to reduce vibration transferred from the suspension into the vehicle's body.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Over time, the front shock absorber top strut supports may deteriorate due to repeated suspension movement, rubber ageing, road impacts and prolonged exposure to environmental conditions.
Common symptoms include:
1. Knocking or Clunking from the Front Suspension
A worn top strut support may produce knocking or clunking noises when driving over bumps, potholes or uneven roads.
Excessive movement within the upper mounting can cause unwanted mechanical contact.
2. Excessive Steering Vibration
Deteriorated mounting rubber may allow more vibration to pass from the suspension into the steering system and vehicle body.
3. Increased Road Noise
A damaged or hardened mount can reduce vibration isolation, allowing additional road and suspension noise into the passenger compartment.
4. Reduced Steering Precision
Excessive movement at the upper strut mounting may affect the consistency of suspension positioning, contributing to vague or less predictable steering response.
5. Uneven Tyre Wear
A severely worn or damaged top mount may contribute to suspension geometry problems and irregular tyre wear.
However, incorrect wheel alignment, worn control arms and tyre pressure issues are also common causes.
6. Poor Ride Comfort
Deteriorated rubber elements may reduce the mount's ability to isolate vibration and road impacts.
The vehicle may feel harsher or transmit more vibration over uneven surfaces.
7. Excessive Front Suspension Movement
A worn mounting may allow unwanted movement at the top of the suspension strut.
This may become apparent during a workshop inspection.
8. Cracked or Perished Rubber
Visible cracking, splitting or deterioration of the mount's rubber components indicates age-related wear.
9. Separation of Rubber and Metal Components
Severe deterioration may cause the resilient mounting material to separate from its surrounding metal structure.
This can compromise the mount's ability to support and locate the suspension strut correctly.
10. Unusual Noises While Turning
A worn top mount or associated strut bearing may cause creaking, clicking or knocking during steering movements.
11. Damaged Mounting Points
Corrosion, impact damage or previously incorrect installation may affect the mounting hardware or metal support structure.
12. Suspension Instability
A severely damaged mounting may contribute to inconsistent handling or unwanted movement during cornering and braking.
13. Uneven Front-End Height or Positioning
Significant deformation or damage to the upper mount may affect the position of the suspension assembly.
Any noticeable ride-height difference should be investigated alongside the springs, dampers and other mounting components.
14. Damage Identified During Shock Absorber Replacement
Deteriorated top mounts are frequently discovered when the front suspension strut is removed for damper replacement or refurbishment.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Replacing worn or damaged front shock absorber top strut supports is an important part of maintaining the handling precision, suspension stability, ride comfort and roadworthiness of your Porsche 996.
- The front suspension system is designed to absorb road irregularities while maintaining consistent tyre contact and predictable steering behaviour.
- The top strut support forms an essential connection between the front shock absorber assembly and the vehicle's body structure.
- If this mounting becomes worn, cracked or distorted, the upper section of the suspension strut may no longer remain correctly supported.
