96434301803/1KIT
Product Information
Product Information

Shock absorber top mount and fitting kit for the front suspension of Porsche 964 C2 and C4 models, supplied as a matched kit for both sides to support correct fit and function.

What This Product Does This kit refreshes the front shock absorber upper mounting area on Porsche 964 models, replacing key hardware and mount components so the front dampers are correctly located and supported.

Functions

  • Locates the top of the front shock absorber securely in the body
  • Supports the front suspension under braking, cornering and bumps
  • Replaces aged mounting components in one matched kit
  • Helps reduce knock and play from worn top mount hardware
  • Supports correct suspension geometry and damper movement

Symptoms of Fault

  • Knocking or clunking noises from the front suspension over bumps
  • Creaking when steering, especially at low speeds
  • Vague or unsettled steering feel
  • Harsh impact noise from the top of the suspension
  • Uneven or accelerated front tyre wear linked to suspension movement

Why Replacement Matters

Front suspension hardware on older Porsche models can deteriorate with age, mileage and repeated load cycles. Rubber, bearings and fasteners at the top mount can harden, wear or loosen, leading to noise, imprecise steering feedback and additional stress on the dampers. Replacing the full set of upper mounting components together helps ensure the front shocks can operate as intended and reduces the likelihood of reusing tired parts during suspension work.

FAQs

  • Q: Are kits vehicle-specific?
    A: Often yes—confirm model, year and engine details before ordering.
  • Q: Do kits include all one-time-use hardware?
    A: Contents vary; check the parts listing and compare with your job requirements.
  • Q: Any tip when planning the work?
    A: Compare the kit contents with the Porsche PET diagram and your existing suspension before dismantling so you understand what is included.

Diagram ref no 8

Front shock absorber adjusting nut manufactured to replicate the original Porsche part’s thread form, dimensions, and seating interface. Designed for direct installation with factory-style front suspension components on Porsche 964 and 993 models.

Installed on the front strut/shock assembly, the adjusting nut provides secure mechanical retention and precise positioning of the shock insert or related strut components. Its correct fit and thread engagement are essential for maintaining suspension integrity under repeated load cycles, bumps, and braking forces.

Adjusting nuts can round off, seize, corrode, or lose thread integrity over time - especially in vehicles exposed to moisture, road salt, or frequent suspension work. Replacing a worn or damaged nut helps ensure the shock/strut assembly remains correctly secured, preventing noise, play, and potential suspension failure.

When to replace:
• Nut is seized, heavily corroded, or damaged during removal
• Rounded flats / tool damage prevents correct torqueing
• Visible thread wear or cross-threading
• Suspension rebuild, shock/insert replacement, or strut refurbishment
• Front end clunks/rattles traced to strut hardware (after inspection)
