Constructed using durable metal and bonded rubber components, the supporting top mount is engineered to withstand the constant loads generated by steering, braking, cornering and uneven road surfaces. It plays a crucial role in maintaining suspension geometry, ride comfort and steering precision while supporting the safe operation of the front suspension system.
What This Product Does:
- Secures the front suspension strut and shock absorber assembly to the chassis.
- Supports suspension loads during driving.
- Isolates vibration, noise and harshness from the cabin.
- Maintains correct suspension geometry and wheel alignment.
- Allows controlled suspension movement during operation.
- Contributes to precise steering response and handling stability.
- Helps protect surrounding suspension components from excessive stress.
- Supports ride comfort and vehicle control.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Clunking, knocking or creaking noises from the front suspension.
- Increased vibration transmitted through the steering wheel or cabin.
- Poor ride quality or harsh suspension operation.
- Wandering or instability while driving.
- Reduced steering accuracy and responsiveness.
- Uneven tyre wear patterns.
- Visible cracks or deterioration in the rubber mount.
- Excessive movement within the suspension assembly.
- Suspension misalignment.
- Premature wear of shocks, struts or associated suspension components.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The front supporting top mount is subjected to constant suspension movement, road impacts, steering forces and environmental exposure throughout its service life. Over time, the rubber isolator can deteriorate, harden or separate from the metal housing, reducing its ability to absorb vibration and properly support the suspension assembly.
- A worn top mount can negatively affect ride quality, steering precision and overall handling performance. Excessive movement within the mount may also place additional stress on shock absorbers, springs and steering components, accelerating wear and increasing maintenance costs.
- Replacing a worn or damaged front supporting top mount restores proper suspension support, improves driving comfort and helps maintain accurate suspension geometry. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, dependable durability and effective vibration isolation, ensuring your Porsche continues to deliver the ride quality, handling characteristics and performance expected from the marque.

Constructed from durable, high-density rubber, the bump stop acts as a cushioning barrier between suspension components when the suspension reaches the end of its travel. It plays an important role in protecting the shock absorber, suspension mounts and chassis components from excessive impact forces while contributing to overall vehicle stability and comfort.
What This Product Does:
- Limits suspension travel during heavy compression.
- Protects the front shock absorber from bottoming out.
- Absorbs impact forces during severe suspension movement.
- Reduces stress on suspension mounts and chassis components.
- Helps maintain suspension geometry under load.
- Improves ride comfort during large suspension movements.
- Contributes to suspension durability and long-term reliability.
- Protects associated suspension components from damage.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Harsh impacts or knocking noises over bumps.
- Suspension bottoming out during driving.
- Increased shock loads transmitted through the chassis.
- Premature wear of shock absorbers or suspension mounts.
- Cracked, split or crumbling rubber material.
- Missing sections of the bump stop.
- Reduced ride comfort.
- Excessive suspension travel.
- Visible deterioration during suspension inspection.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Front shock absorber rubber stops are subjected to constant exposure to road debris, moisture, heat, oil contamination and repeated compression cycles. Over time, the rubber can harden, crack, split or deteriorate, reducing its ability to absorb impacts effectively.
- A damaged or missing bump stop can allow the suspension to bottom out during heavy braking, cornering or rough road conditions. This can place excessive stress on shock absorbers, suspension mounts and chassis components, potentially leading to costly repairs and reduced vehicle control.
- Replacing a worn shock absorber rubber stop restores proper suspension protection, improves ride quality and helps extend the service life of critical suspension components. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, durable construction and reliable impact absorption, ensuring your Porsche suspension system continues to perform as intended.

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.

Front shock absorber bump stops and dust covers by OE Match for Porsche 944 models from 1987, 944 Turbo and 968 models without M030 sports suspension. This SET OF 4 PARTS contains the protective components required for both front shock absorber assemblies.
Fits:
Porsche 944 1987>>
Porsche 944 Turbo
Porsche 968 1992 - 1995 *Cars without sport suspension (without M030 option)
Diagram ref no 10 & 11
What This Product Does
The rubber stops cushion the suspension at the end of its compression travel, while the protective boots help shield the shock absorber piston rods from dirt and road debris. Renewing these components supports the correct operation and protection of the front dampers.
Functions
- Cushions the front suspension during full compression
- Protects the shock absorber piston rods from contamination
- Helps reduce harsh impacts caused by deteriorated bump stops
- Provides protection for both front shock absorber assemblies
Technical Details
- Position: Front
- Contents: two rubber stops and two protective boots
- Total quantity: SET OF 4 PARTS
- Diagram ref no 10 and 11
Symptoms of Fault
- Cracked, split or perished bump stops
- Torn or detached dust covers
- Harsh impacts when the suspension compresses fully
- Rattling from damaged covers or associated hardware
- Visible dirt collecting around an exposed shock absorber piston rod
Why Replacement Matters
Bump stops and dust covers deteriorate through age, repeated suspension movement and exposure to road contamination. Damaged parts can leave the damper rod exposed and reduce cushioning at the limit of suspension travel. They should be inspected when replacing front shock absorbers so worn protective components are not reused.
OE Reference
- 95134352700
- 95134352901
FAQs
- Does this set cover both front shock absorbers? Yes. It contains two rubber stops and two dust covers for the front axle.
- Can it be fitted to a Porsche 968 with M030 suspension? No. The supplied application excludes cars equipped with the M030 sports suspension option.
- Should these parts be renewed with new shock absorbers? Inspecting and replacing worn bump stops and covers during damper renewal helps avoid reusing perished protective parts.
