What This Product Does:
- The shock absorber top mount (sometimes called “strut mount” or “upper mount”) attaches the top of the front damper/strut assembly to the vehicle’s body/strut tower. It supports the spring/damper load, allows steering movement (via the bearing), and isolates noise/vibration.
- Over time, the rubber mount may degrade, the bearing can bind or wear, hardware may corrode — leading to poor ride, noise, loss of precision.
- The overhaul kit replaces the mount, bearing and all relevant hardware so the top of your front suspension is restored to correct specification — improving longevity, ride quality, handling, and eliminating common wear symptoms.
When You Should Consider Replacement:
- Knocking, creaking or clunking from the top of the strut tower when driving over bumps or turning the steering wheel.
- Steering or handling feel degraded: less precision, vague feedback, increased body roll, front-end wander.
- Suspension ride quality worsened, front-end noise or vibration transmitted into the cabin.
- You are replacing front shocks/struts: since the top mount must be removed for that job, it’s efficient to replace the mount/bearing/hardware at the same time.
- Mount or bearing visibly worn: If inspection shows the mount rubber cracked, bearing flattened or play exists, the overhaul kit is justified.
- Preserves ride & handling performance: The front suspension’s mount integrity influences tyre contact patch, cornering stability, and steering precision. A worn mount can compromise all of these.
- Eliminates noise & improves NVH: Worn mounts or bearings contribute to noise, creaks, clunks and general poor ride comfort. Replacing them improves refinement and comfort.
- Prevents further damage: If the top mount fails or deforms, the strut, spring seat, bearing or body mounting may suffer damage. A fresh kit protects the rest of the suspension.
- More cost-effective in service: Since the strut top mount is accessed when the strut is removed, it’s efficient to replace the mount kit at the same time rather than later.

Fits front axle, left or right side (price per unit) original-spec rubber/steel construction with built-in bearing Direct replacement for OE number 95134301831 (supersedes / cross-references 95134301830 and 95134301804)
This suspension strut top mount (also known as a strut bearing or top mount) sits at the top of the front shock absorber and bolts the strut assembly to the chassis. It isolates road noise and vibration, while the integrated bearing allows the strut to rotate smoothly as you steer.
Designed to OEM geometry, this mount restores proper ride height, steering precision and comfort on ageing 944/968 chassis.
Fits:
Porsche 944 1987-91
Porsche 968 1992-95
Why these mounts should be replaced
On 30+ year-old 944 and 968 models, the original rubber and bearing in the top mount are usually well past their best:
Perished or cracked rubber – Heat, age and load cause the rubber to harden, crack and eventually separate from the metal plate. This allows excess movement at the top of the strut.
Worn or seized bearing – The bearing that lets the strut rotate with the steering can dry out or rust. This leads to heavy, notchy steering and spring “twang” noises when turning.
Collapsed mount – As the rubber collapses, the front of the car can sit lower on one side, and camber/caster angles go out of spec, hurting handling and tyre life.
Noise & vibration – Worn mounts commonly cause clunks over bumps, knocking when manoeuvring and increased vibration transmitted into the cabin.
Replacing tired original mounts with fresh units is one of the biggest improvements you can make to the ride quality, steering feel and front-end stability of a 944 or 968, especially when fitting new shocks or springs at the same time.
