What This Product Does
The mount provides a supporting connection between the front damper assembly and the body. It is a mounting component, not a complete shock absorber.

Functions

• Supports the damper at its mounting point.
• Maintains the assembly's intended position.

Technical Details

• Brand: OE Match.
• Part reference: 99734301801.
• Additional supplied references: 99734301800 and 99634301804.
• Installation position: Front.
• Assembly diagrams specify two mounts per vehicle; this does not establish the pack quantity.

Symptoms of Fault
Knocks, creaks, vibration or excessive movement warrant inspection. Similar symptoms can arise from suspension arms, bushes, bearings or drop links, so diagnosis should identify the worn component before replacement.

Why Replacement Matters
Renewing a deteriorated mount addresses wear at the damper's supporting connection. During damper replacement, inspect the mounts and surrounding hardware rather than automatically reusing them. OE Match's Porsche-focused replacement programme uses original references and application information to identify suitable components.

FAQs

Should both mounts be inspected?
Yes. Assess both sides for wear and determine whether paired replacement is appropriate.

Is an alignment check needed?
Arrange a geometry check where the suspension work affects wheel alignment.

Will this alone cure suspension noise?
Only if the mount is responsible. Check nearby joints and supporting components before deciding which parts to renew.
