 Supersession: Part 90037805109 is superseded by 90037805101

This bolt secures the rear suspension control arm to the wheel carrier or subframe, providing the clamping force needed to maintain accurate suspension alignment and minimize movement under load.

Over years of service, high torque loads, vibration, and exposure to road conditions can weaken or corrode suspension bolts. A compromised bolt may lead to improper alignment, handling instability, or noise under braking and cornering.

When to replaces:
• During control arm replacement, alignment service, or rear suspension rebuilds
• If original bolts show corrosion, stretching, or thread wear
• As part of preventive maintenance when reassembling load-bearing suspension joints

Replacing with Genuine Porsche hardware ensures structural integrity, precise fit, and lasting performance.

Supersession: 90037805109, 90037805101

Since the control-arm mounting bolt bears major structural loads and undergoes vibration and torque stress, it can become worn, stretched, corroded or fatigued over time. This reduces its ability to maintain correct alignment and clamping force - potentially resulting in handling issues or component wear. Replacement is especially important when performing rear suspension service, control arm replacement, or alignment work. Installing the correct bolt restores reliable mounting integrity and ensures the rear axle geometry remains stable under load.

Rear suspension top mount.
Genuine Porsche Original Equipment (OE) upper shock absorber mount - also commonly referred to as a strut mount or suspension top mount. It is a factory-engineered suspension component that connects the top of the shock absorber/strut assembly to the vehicle body, providing support, alignment, and vibration isolation.
Sold each, 2 required per vehicle.

Fits:
Porsche 971.1 Panamera 2017 - 2020
Porsche 971.2 Panamera 2021 - 2024
 * cars with option code: 1BH - Suspension/dampers, standard 2 PASM
 * cars with option code: 1BK - Air suspension with levelling system and height adjustment (PASM)

Diagram ref no 4

It serves as the interface between the shock absorber and the chassis, sealing the suspension assembly and properly locating the strut within the wheel arch. The mount features precision-engineered surfaces and internal damping materials (where applicable) that help absorb road shock, isolate noise, and maintain suspension geometry.

The upper shock absorber mount has a dual role: it supports the shock absorber assembly at the chassis connection point and provides a cushioning interface that reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) transmitted into the passenger compartment. This helps maintain precise suspension geometry and consistent handling characteristics.

Over time, suspension mounts can deteriorate due to repetitive loading, heat, moisture, and age. A worn or degraded upper mount can lead to symptoms such as squeaks, clunks, poor handling, uneven tyre wear, or compromised steering feel. Replacing a worn mount with a Genuine Porsche OE component restores the intended ride quality, noise isolation, and suspension precision that Porsche engineered into the vehicle from new.

When to replace:
•  Noticeable squeaks or clunking from suspension under load
•   Vibration or harshness transmitted into the cabin
•   After shock absorber/strut replacement or suspension overhaul
•   Visible deterioration, cracking, or compression of mount material
•   Uneven tyre wear or steering alignment issues

Rear suspension top mount.
OE Match upper shock absorber mount designed to replicate the original Porsche factory strut mount used on Porsche Panamera (971 series). It serves as the connection point between the shock absorber/strut assembly and the vehicle body, providing mechanical support and vibration isolation.
Sold each, 2 required per vehicle.

Fits:
Porsche 971.1 Panamera 2017 - 2020
Porsche 971.2 Panamera 2021 - 2024
 * cars with option code: 1BH - Suspension/dampers, standard 2 PASM
 * cars with option code: 1BK - Air suspension with levelling system and height adjustment (PASM)

Diagram ref no 4

The OE Match shock absorber mount provides mechanical support and isolation for the suspension strut. It holds the upper end of the shock absorber in place, absorbs road shock, and helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) transmitted to the vehicle body and cabin. It also ensures that the suspension geometry remains consistent under load, preserving predictable handling and ride comfort.

Upper shock mounts endure continuous load, heat cycles, and vibration. Over time, the rubber and bonding materials in a mount can stiffen, crack, separate, or deteriorate. Symptoms of a worn shock mount include clunking, vibration, harsh ride quality, uneven tyre wear, and compromised suspension control. Replacing the mount with an OE Match component restores proper support and NVH isolation, which helps prolong the life of the shock absorbers themselves and preserves the original driving dynamics.

When to replace:
•  Noticeable squeaks or clunking from suspension under load
•   Vibration or harshness transmitted into the cabin
•   After shock absorber/strut replacement or suspension overhaul
•   Visible deterioration, cracking, or compression of mount material
•   Uneven tyre wear or steering alignment issues

Diagram Ref No 21

Manufactured from high-grade automotive rubber bonded to precision-engineered metal sleeves, the mount is designed to withstand continuous suspension articulation, heavy cornering forces, braking loads and exposure to road salt, moisture, oil and debris. Precision-manufactured for direct OE-style installation, it restores the original suspension characteristics while effectively reducing unwanted movement, vibration and noise.  

What This Product Does:

  • Secures the rear control arm to the suspension mounting point.
  • Absorbs road shocks and vibration.
  • Allows controlled rear suspension movement.
  • Maintains correct rear suspension geometry.
  • Supports stable handling during braking and cornering.
  • Reduces noise and vibration transmitted into the cabin.
  • Helps maintain even tyre contact with the road surface.
  • Forms an essential part of the rear suspension system.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
  • Knocking or clunking noises from the rear suspension.
  • Excessive vibration through the vehicle.
  • Rear-end instability during cornering.
  • Uneven or accelerated rear tyre wear.
  • Excessive movement of the rear control arm.
  • Poor rear wheel alignment.
  • Cracked, split or perished rubber bush.
  • Reduced handling precision.
  • Squeaking noises over bumps.
  • MOT or vehicle inspection failure due to worn suspension bushes.

Why Replacement Matters:

  • The rear control arm rubber mount is subjected to constant movement, heavy suspension loads and continual exposure to road contaminants and changing temperatures. Over time, the bonded rubber can harden, crack or separate from its metal sleeve, allowing excessive movement within the suspension.
  • A worn rear control arm mount can negatively affect suspension geometry, handling stability, braking performance and tyre wear while increasing unwanted vibration and noise. If left unrepaired, excessive movement can accelerate wear of surrounding suspension components, including control arms, ball joints and dampers, leading to more costly repairs.
  • Replacing a worn or damaged rear control arm rubber mount restores the correct positioning of the suspension, improves ride comfort and returns the handling characteristics to factory standards. The OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, premium-quality bonded rubber construction and long-lasting durability, ensuring dependable rear suspension performance, enhanced safety and the refined driving experience expected from your Porsche.

About Suspension & Axle

Porsche Suspension & Axle Parts

Porsche suspension systems are engineered with precision to deliver sharp handling, ride comfort, and maximum performance. Whether on the road or track, your Porsche relies on a finely tuned suspension and axle setup to keep you in control. When components wear out, the ride becomes rough, handling suffers, and safety can be compromised.

At Design911, we supply a full range of suspension and axle parts for classic and modern Porsche models — from shock absorbers and coil springs to control arms and ball joints - helping you maintain your car’s legendary driving dynamics.

 Signs of Worn Shocks or Struts

Shock absorbers and struts are essential for keeping your Porsche stable over bumps and through corners. Some signs they may need replacement include:

  • Excessive Bouncing – car continues to bounce after hitting bumps
  • Poor Cornering Stability – leaning hard into corners, reduced grip
  • Fluid Leaks – damp or oily patches on shocks/struts
  • Uneven Tyre Wear – poor damping leads to increased tyre wear

If left unchecked, worn shocks or struts not only reduce ride comfort but can also compromise safety.

 Common Porsche Suspension Issues

Different Porsche models can face specific suspension-related faults. The most frequent include:

  • Lower Track Control Arm Bushings - Failure causes squeaking noises, uneven tyre wear, and eventually knocking sounds over rough roads.
  • Broken Coil Springs - Seen in models such as the Porsche Boxster. Symptoms include groaning noises when steering and clicking or knocking over bumpy surfaces.
  • Leaking or Worn Shock Absorbers - Identified by damp, oily residue on the shock body. This is one of the most common suspension failures over time.
  • Ball Joint Wear - Worn joints reduce steering precision and can lead to loss of control if ignored.

Fortunately, most of these issues can be resolved by simply replacing the affected parts with OEM or high-quality aftermarket components.

Why Maintain Suspension & Axle Components?

  • Performance – ensure your Porsche handles as designed, with precise cornering and stability
  • Comfort – smoother ride by absorbing bumps and vibrations
  • Safety – worn suspension can increase braking distances and reduce steering control
  • Longevity – prevent excessive tyre wear and protect other connected systems
