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.

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.
