This OE Match Rubber Stop for Front Shock Absorber is a high-quality replacement component engineered to match original Porsche specifications for fit, durability, and performance. Installed on the front suspension strut, this rubber stop acts as a bump stop, preventing the shock absorber from bottoming out under heavy compression.
This component is essential for maintaining correct suspension performance and ride comfort in classic air-cooled Porsche 911 models.
This rubber stop limits suspension travel and absorbs impact forces, protecting the shock absorber and surrounding components from damage.
Function
• Acts as a bump stop for front suspension travel
• Prevents shock absorber bottoming out
• Absorbs impact forces under compression
• Protects suspension and chassis components
• Maintains ride comfort and suspension integrity
Rubber bump stops are subject to constant compression, heat, and aging, which can cause them to crack, harden, or collapse. A worn stop reduces protection for the suspension system and can result in harsh impacts, increased wear, or damage to shocks and mounts.
Replacing the rubber stop restores proper suspension cushioning and helps maintain vehicle handling and comfort.
When to replace
• Visible cracks, splitting, or deterioration
• Suspension feels harsh or bottoms out
• During shock absorber replacement
• As part of suspension overhaul or restoration
• Preventative maintenance on classic vehicles

What This Product Does
The kit renews the rubber mounting and associated securing components at the front strut bearing assembly. It combines rubber bearings with support washers, sleeves or bushes, locking plates and nuts for refurbishment of both front strut mountings.
The rubber elements provide a compliant connection within the mounting assembly, helping to isolate vibration. The accompanying sleeves and hardware locate and retain the components. This is a mounting repair kit rather than a replacement shock absorber or complete strut.
Functions
- Replaces ageing rubber elements in the front strut mounting.
- Renews the associated supporting and retaining hardware.
- Provides mounting repair components for two front struts.
Technical Details
- Earlier-version front strut mounting repair kit.
Symptoms of Fault
- Knocks or clunks around the front mounting points over uneven surfaces.
- Increased vibration or a less settled feel from the front suspension.
- Perished rubber, visible cracking or movement within the mounting assembly.
These signs can also originate from dampers, suspension joints or other bushes. Inspect the assembly before deciding which components need renewal.
Why Replacement Matters
Renewing deteriorated mounting components addresses wear at the strut attachment rather than leaving old rubber and fixings in place during suspension work. Inspect the adjoining mounting surfaces and supporting parts at the same time, particularly when refurbishing an early car or replacing its dampers.
FAQs
- Is one kit sufficient for both front struts?
Yes. The supplied kit coverage is two shock struts. - Should the mountings be inspected when changing dampers?
Yes. Check the rubber elements and retaining hardware so worn components are not reused. - Is an alignment check needed afterwards?
Have the geometry checked following work that disturbs the strut mounting position.

Lock tab washer used on the front steering lever mount (which connects the steering arm or control arm to the strut / suspension assembly) bolt on early Porsche 911 and 912 (1965–1968). Once fitted and bent over on the bolt head or nut, it prevents the bolt from rotating or loosening - a vital safety feature for the suspension/steering system.
Sold each. Quantity required: Multiples per vehicle, per original specification (typically 6 washers per vehicle on both sides).
Fits:
Porsche 911 2.0L 01/1963 - 07/1968
Porsche 912 1.6L 01/1965 - 07/1968
Diagram ref no 21
Original lock tabs can corrode, fatigue, or be incorrectly reused, losing the ability to lock the bolt securely. A compromised tab washer increases the risk of the steering-lever bolt loosening - which can cause alignment problems, suspension play, or even failure under load. Replacing with a fresh tab washer restores correct locking function, maintains safety and ensures reliable steering and suspension service.
Replace the tab washer if:
• The existing tab is corroded, bent, damaged or missing.
• You are performing front suspension or steering work (strut, control arm, bolt removal).
• You notice loosening or play in the steering or control arm mount.
• You are restoring or refreshing the suspension with correct OE-spec hardware.

Porsche Front Shock Absorber Parts | Design911 Suspension Components for Comfort, Control & Handling Precision
Front shock absorber parts are crucial to your Porsche’s suspension system, ensuring smooth ride quality, consistent wheel contact, and stable handling. Working together with coil springs, dampers, and mounting components, these parts absorb road impacts and reduce vibration — keeping your Porsche composed and responsive in all driving conditions. A well-maintained front shock absorber assembly delivers the precise steering feedback, grip, and comfort expected from a high-performance vehicle.
At Design911, we offer a wide selection of front shock absorber parts, including mounts, top bearings, bump stops, dust covers, washers, and hardware kits. Each component is designed for perfect fitment, durability, and performance. Whether for routine servicing, restoration, or suspension upgrades, our range ensures your Porsche’s suspension system remains balanced, refined, and road-ready.
What Do Front Shock Absorber Parts Do?
Front shock absorber parts form a critical link in your suspension assembly, helping the dampers and springs function effectively while maintaining chassis balance.
Core Functions:
• Support the shock absorber assembly and maintain correct positioning.
• Reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) from road impacts.
• Allow smooth, controlled compression and rebound of the suspension.
• Protect the shock absorber from dust, dirt, and fluid contamination.
• Ensure consistent ride height and suspension performance.
Each part plays a vital role in maintaining Porsche’s signature blend of agility, precision, and comfort.
Why Do Front Shock Absorber Parts Fail or Degrade?
Continuous movement, heat, and exposure to the elements cause front suspension components to wear or deteriorate over time.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Perished rubber mounts or bushings reducing shock absorption.
• Corroded bolts or mounting plates affecting alignment.
• Cracked or split dust covers allowing dirt ingress.
• Worn bearings causing creaking or uneven damping.
• Age-related material fatigue reducing effectiveness.
When these parts fail, symptoms can include knocking noises, uneven ride height, poor steering feel, or harsh suspension response — all indicators that replacement is needed to restore performance and comfort.
Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Front Shock Absorber Parts?
Replacing worn components restores your suspension’s performance and ensures precise steering and comfort. Upgrading to reinforced or performance-spec parts improves chassis response and durability, especially for spirited driving or track use.
