Porsche cars with PASM

Porsche cars with PASM

Porsche models equipped with PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) use an adaptive damping system that is more sophisticated than non-PASM setups. It continuously adjusts damper force to balance comfort and control, so choosing the correct PASM-compatible rear shock absorbers and related components is essential when maintaining or restoring your Porsche.

Individual replacement parts Specific PASM-compatible rear shock absorbers and associated hardware to address wear or a fault on one area of the suspension without changing everything at once.

• Ideal for targeted repairs or PASM fault rectification
• Allows you to replace only the components that are worn or leaking
• Helps keep maintenance focused on diagnosed issues

Matched sets or axle pairs Rear PASM dampers and related parts supplied as pairs so both sides are renewed together for consistent behaviour.

• Maintains balanced damping across the axle
• Helps avoid uneven ride quality or response left to right
• A sensible approach when mileage and wear are similar both sides

Complete suspension kits Grouped PASM-compatible components to refresh a wider part of the suspension system in one go, useful when overall condition has deteriorated or as part of a larger refurbishment.

• Brings together the specified components for a coordinated refresh
• Saves time compared with sourcing items individually
• Suited to more in-depth maintenance or restoration on Porsche models with PASM

Why do Porsche cars with PASM rear shock absorbers matter?

The PASM rear dampers and associated hardware are central to how a Porsche with PASM rides and responds. Because the system actively adjusts damping to suit conditions and driving mode, worn or incorrect components can affect how smoothly the system operates and how closely it matches its original calibration. Using the correct PASM-compatible parts helps ensure the system can function as designed and that the transition between comfort-oriented and firmer settings remains predictable.

• Keep your Porsche with PASM driving as intended across its suspension modes
• Help reduce knocks, instability and inconsistent ride feel caused by worn parts
• Support the correct operation of the PASM system, avoiding mismatched or non-compatible dampers
• Protect long-term enjoyment and confidence in how your Porsche behaves on the road

Individual replacement parts PASM-specific dampers, mounts and hardware chosen to address particular faults or wear without overhauling the entire system.

• Useful when diagnostics point to a single leaking or weak damper
• Lets you retain the rest of the suspension when it is still in good condition
• Can be combined with other new parts later as needed

Matched pairs for PASM cars Rear PASM shock absorbers and related components supplied per axle to renew both sides together.

• Helps keep damping behaviour even side to side
• Reduces the chance of one new and one tired damper giving mixed feedback
• Often recommended when mileage and age are similar across the axle

Complete PASM-compatible kits Packages that combine dampers and key hardware intended to restore a larger part of the PASM suspension layout in a single job.

• Brings structure to more extensive suspension work
• Can simplify parts selection for servicing or refurbishment
• Suited to higher-mileage or ageing Porsche models with PASM

When should you review or replace your Porsche cars with PASM?

Because PASM combines electronic control with mechanical dampers, both wear and system faults can influence how your Porsche feels on the road. Checking the condition of the rear shock absorbers and related components periodically, and paying attention to how the different PASM modes feel, helps you catch issues before they affect confidence or comfort.

• You notice PASM warning messages or the system defaulting to one mode
• Ride quality becomes inconsistent between modes or feels harsher than before
• There are visible leaks from the rear dampers or signs of corrosion and wear
• The car feels less settled over bumps or you hear knocks from the rear suspension area

If any of these apply, it is a good time to review your Porsche cars with PASM rear suspension components and replace any items that are worn or no longer operating as intended, so your Porsche remains reassuring and enjoyable to use.
