This is for the shock absorber as an additional spring, also known as a bump stop, stopper or helper spring, designed for the front strut assemblies on Porsche 997 models equipped with the Sport chassis (option codes I030 or I480). Front axle suspension assembly for Porsche 996/997 (1998–2012), serving as a rubber stop or bushing integrated into the strut structure.
Fits:
Porsche 997 C2 / C2S / C4 / C4S MKI 2005-08 - Cars with SPORT chassis (Option code: I030/I480)
Porsche 997 C2 / C2S / C4 / C4S MKII 2009-12 - Cars with SPORT chassis (Option code: I030)
Porsche 996 C2 / C2S / C4 / C4S - Cars with SPORT chassis (Option code: IX74 / M030)
This acts as a progressive load-bearing element, cushioning the suspension when the strut nears full compression. It helps prevent harsh bottoming-out, protecting both the strut and chassis from damage during aggressive driving or over bumps.
These components maintain ride quality and handling performance, especially under heavy loading or spirited cornering, keeping the suspension linear and controlled.
Common Issues & Considerations
Wear or Deterioration: Over time, the rubber can compress, crack, or lose elasticity, diminishing its effectiveness. This can lead to harsher suspension impacts at full compression.
Noise or Harsh Feedback: A worn or hardened bump stop can transmit noise or impacts through the cabin, particularly over rough roads or speed bumps.
Sport vs. Standard Suspension: These parts are specific to Sport chassis models. Non-sport setups may not have the same bump stops or use different part numbers, so swapping or replacing must be done accordingly.

Constructed from durable automotive-grade materials, the cover plate is engineered to withstand the stresses generated by suspension movement, steering inputs and road impacts. Featuring a single-bore design, it provides precise alignment and support for the associated top mount assembly while helping maintain the structural integrity of the suspension mounting area.
What This Product Does:
- Secures and supports the front suspension top mount assembly.
- Helps distribute suspension loads into the chassis structure.
- Maintains correct positioning of suspension mounting components.
- Supports proper suspension geometry and alignment.
- Protects the top mount installation area.
- Contributes to suspension stability and handling performance.
- Helps ensure reliable operation of the front suspension system.
- Supports long-term structural integrity of the mounting assembly.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Looseness within the suspension top mount assembly.
- Suspension knocking or clunking noises.
- Visible corrosion or deformation of the cover plate.
- Misalignment of suspension mounting components.
- Excessive movement at the top mount location.
- Uneven suspension loading.
- Premature wear of top mounts and associated hardware.
- Difficulty maintaining suspension alignment.
- Visible damage caused by impact or corrosion.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The front suspension mounting area is subjected to constant forces generated by steering, braking, cornering and road surface irregularities. Over time, mounting hardware and cover plates can suffer from corrosion, fatigue, impact damage or distortion, reducing their ability to properly support the suspension assembly.
- A damaged or weakened cover plate can compromise suspension stability and place additional stress on top mounts, shock absorbers and surrounding chassis components. If left unresolved, mounting issues may lead to accelerated suspension wear, reduced handling precision and costly repairs.
- Replacing a worn or damaged cover plate restores secure suspension mounting, maintains proper load distribution and helps preserve the integrity of the front suspension system. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, durable construction and dependable long-term performance, ensuring your Porsche continues to deliver the handling, comfort and safety expected from its suspension design.

High Density front strut mounts for your 911/914 not only replace tired factory rubber pieces, but return better handling and ride quality without being overly stiff. At 25% more stiff than stock, these are a great compromise, allowing the front suspension to maintain better alignment and geometry over bumps and around corners thanks to their increased stiffness. Still at home on a race track, these will ride with a feel closer to factory than that of our more track oriented full camber plate and monoball setups.

The front strut mount forms the upper attachment point of the suspension assembly, connecting the MacPherson strut to the vehicle body through a bonded rubber mounting. It absorbs shocks and vibration while allowing the suspension to articulate correctly during cornering, braking and everyday driving.
As the original rubber mount ages, it gradually hardens, cracks or compresses due to constant loading, heat and exposure to the elements. A worn strut mount can lead to vague steering, suspension knocks, increased vibration, uneven tyre wear and changes to suspension geometry that affect handling and stability.
Replacing worn front strut mounts restores the suspension to its intended operating condition, improving steering response, ride comfort and overall driver confidence. They are best replaced in pairs to ensure balanced suspension performance across the front axle.
Manufactured to OE Match standards, this replacement offers excellent fitment, durability and dependable performance, making it ideal for routine maintenance, suspension refurbishment or concours restorations.
Key Features
- Improves steering accuracy and handling
- Reduces suspension noise and vibration
- Helps maintain correct suspension geometry
- Durable rubber and steel construction
- Recommended to replace in pairs
Front Suspension Components
A healthy suspension system is essential to preserving the precise handling characteristics that define classic Porsche models. The front strut mount plays a critical role in supporting the suspension while insulating the chassis from road shocks, ensuring predictable steering and consistent tyre contact.
Over time, the rubber element deteriorates naturally, particularly on vehicles that have seen decades of use. Replacing tired mounts is an effective way to restore the feel of the steering and improve overall suspension performance.
Common Symptoms of Worn Strut Mounts
- Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
- Vague or imprecise steering
- Increased vibration through the steering wheel
- Uneven or accelerated front tyre wear
- Poor wheel alignment retention
- Excessive movement in the suspension assembly
Replacing the strut mounts during suspension servicing or when fitting new dampers helps maximise the lifespan and performance of the complete suspension system.
