Diagram Ref No 12

Fitted within the front suspension strut assembly, the spring seat provides a supporting surface for the coil spring, helping keep the suspension components correctly located.

An ideal replacement for a corroded, worn or damaged original component during suspension servicing or restoration.

What Does It Do?

The spring seat supports the front suspension coil spring within the shock absorber assembly.

It helps maintain correct spring alignment and positioning as the suspension compresses and extends during driving.

Why Is It Important?

A correctly fitted spring seat helps keep the suspension spring securely located.

A damaged or deteriorated seat may contribute to:

• Knocking or creaking from the front suspension
• Incorrect spring positioning
• Uneven contact around the spring mounting
• Increased wear to surrounding suspension components

Why Do Spring Seats Fail?

Common causes include:

• Corrosion from moisture and road salt
• Wear from repeated suspension movement
• Damage during shock absorber replacement
• Distortion caused by incorrect installation

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace the spring seat if it is cracked, bent, heavily corroded or no longer supports the spring correctly.

It should also be inspected when replacing front shock absorbers, coil springs or suspension top mounts.

Installation Notes

Installation requires removal and dismantling of the front suspension strut.

Use a suitable spring compressor and inspect the spring, mounting washers and surrounding components before reassembly.

Ensure all parts are correctly seated and follow Porsche's specified tightening procedures.
