Diagram Ref No 55
The top tab washer is a small but essential locking component within the front suspension assembly. Constant vibration, suspension movement, repeated servicing, and age can cause the original washer to become bent, fatigued, corroded, or damaged, reducing its ability to lock the mounting hardware securely. Replacing the tab washer during shock absorber or suspension maintenance helps maintain the integrity of the strut assembly and provides long-term reliability. This OE Match component is ideal for routine maintenance, suspension repairs, and Porsche restoration projects.
What This Product Does:
- Locks the front shock absorber retaining nut in position.
- Helps prevent mounting hardware from loosening due to vibration.
- Maintains the security of the front suspension assembly.
- Supports safe and reliable suspension operation.
- Replaces worn, bent, or corroded original tab washers.
- Ideal during shock absorber or suspension rebuilds.
- Provides an OE-style fit and dependable quality.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Bent or damaged locking tabs.
- Corrosion or excessive surface wear.
- Washer no longer securely locking the retaining nut.
- Signs of movement in the shock absorber mounting hardware.
- Suspension noise caused by loose upper mounting components.
- Damage caused during previous removal or installation.
- Excessive wear from repeated servicing.
- Age-related deterioration of the original component.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The front shock absorber top tab washer is a critical locking component that helps secure the upper shock absorber mounting hardware. By preventing the retaining nut from loosening under normal driving conditions, it contributes to the safety, stability, and long-term reliability of the suspension assembly.
- A worn or damaged tab washer may no longer provide adequate locking force, increasing the risk of loose suspension components, unwanted noise, or premature wear. Replacing the washer restores the correct locking function and helps ensure the suspension remains securely assembled. Manufactured as a direct replacement and produced to OE-style specifications, this OE Match tab washer provides the correct fit, dependable quality, and durability required for Porsche maintenance, suspension repairs, and restoration projects.
