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.

Front suspension strut bearing (upper damper mount bearing) for Porsche 911 (996 and 997 models) all-wheel drive (4WD) variants. This bearing enables smooth rotation and proper articulation of the front suspension strut assembly, reducing friction and maintaining correct alignment under load. Built to replicate the original equipment’s tolerances, materials and mounting geometry.
Sold each, fits left or right suspension strut
Fits:
Porsche 996 C4 / C4S 1998 - 2005
Porsche 996 Turbo 2001 - 2005
Porsche 997.1 C4 / C4S 2007- 2008

• Position on Vehicle: Mounted at the top of the front suspension strut/damper assembly, under the front sub-frame, where it supports angular movement and load transfer through the bearing above the strut.
• Cross-Reference / Alternative Numbers: OEM number: 996 343 501 00 (sometimes shown as 99634350100)
• Applications: Replacement when the original front strut bearing shows signs of wear such as noise, binding, or play - restoring correct suspension articulation, reducing noise and preserving handling response.
The front strut top bearing is a key element in the suspension system - linking the strut to the chassis and allowing smooth turning and suspension travel. When the bearing becomes worn, loose or corroded, you may experience clunks, steering noise, compromised alignment or uneven tyre wear. Replacing it with a high-quality OE-Match unit restores silent, precise suspension behaviour and maintains the sophisticated ride and handling that Porsche drivers expect.
When and why to replace:
• Noticeable noise (clunking, groaning) when steering or traversing bumps through the front suspension.
• Excessive play or roughness at the top of the strut when the bonnet is open or during suspension movement.
• Uneven tyre wear or alignment issues traceable to front suspension bearing play.
• After front-end suspension work or damper/strut replacement - when access is available.
• High-mileage vehicle or original bearing installed long ago and potentially at end-of-life.
