Restore the rear suspension top mount area of your Porsche 981 Boxster with this comprehensive overhaul kit. Designed for the rear shock/strut top mount region to replace worn or fatigued top-mount hardware.
Fits:
- Porsche Boxster 981 2.7L 2012-16
- Porsche Boxster 981 S / GTS 3.4L 2012-16
Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10
What This Product Does:
- The rear shock absorber top mount secures the top of the shock or strut assembly to the vehicle body or rear suspension tower. It ensures the damper is correctly located and loaded, and helps absorb vibrations, maintain correct geometry and isolate noise.
- Over time, mounts, washers, nuts and associated hardware fatigue – the mount may sag or shift, washers may wear, the nut may loosen, the bearing (if present) may wear. This reduces suspension precision, can introduce noise (clunks, creaks) and affects handling.
- This kit replaces the top mount nut, washers, mount components and related hardware — restoring the top of the damper assembly to like-new spec, which supports ride quality, handling, durability and quiet operation.
When You Should Consider Replacement:
- Knocking or clunking noises from the rear strut top area when accelerating, decelerating or going over bumps.
- Poor ride quality at the rear, increased vibration or a feeling of looseness in the rear suspension.
- Inconsistent handling or rear feel: e.g., rear end doesn’t feel as controlled or stable in corners.
- You are replacing/rebuilding your rear dampers/shocks or springs: since the top mount hardware is removed anyway, replacing it is efficient and recommended.
- Visible damage or wear: If mount washers are deformed, nuts show signs of loosening, or the mount has shifted — an overhaul kit helps restore it properly.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Restores rear suspension integrity & performance: The top mount plays a key role in how the rear damper responds. A worn mount allows movement or misalignment, reducing tyre contact and degrading handling.
- Eliminates noise and improves comfort: A compromised mount is often the source of rear knocks, rattles or increased harshness — replacing the kit removes this weak link.
- Prevents further damage: If the mount hardware fails, the stress transfers to other components: damper shaft, body mount, spring seat — renewing the top mount stops further failure.
- Cost-effective when servicing: When the shock assembly is out for service, installing the full mount kit avoids future labour for what is essentially an ageing item.

Restore the critical upper mounting point of your front suspension with this comprehensive overhaul kit. Designed for the front strut tower on Porsche 981 Boxster, this kit includes the top mount, bearing and all required hardware such as nuts, washers, bump stop/dust cover components.
Fits:
- Porsche Boxster 981 2.7L 2012-16 (For Cars With PASM)
- Porsche Boxster 981 S / GTS 3.4L 2012-16 (For Cars With PASM)
Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13
What This Product Does:
- The shock absorber top mount (sometimes called “strut mount” or “upper mount”) attaches the top of the front damper/strut assembly to the vehicle’s body/strut tower. It supports the spring/damper load, allows steering movement (via the bearing), and isolates noise/vibration.
- Over time, the rubber mount may degrade, the bearing can bind or wear, hardware may corrode — leading to poor ride, noise, loss of precision.
- The overhaul kit replaces the mount, bearing and all relevant hardware so the top of your front suspension is restored to correct specification — improving longevity, ride quality, handling, and eliminating common wear symptoms.
When You Should Consider Replacement:
- Knocking, creaking or clunking from the top of the strut tower when driving over bumps or turning the steering wheel.
- Steering or handling feel degraded: less precision, vague feedback, increased body roll, front-end wander.
- Suspension ride quality worsened, front-end noise or vibration transmitted into the cabin.
- You are replacing front shocks/struts: since the top mount must be removed for that job, it’s efficient to replace the mount/bearing/hardware at the same time.
- Mount or bearing visibly worn: If inspection shows the mount rubber cracked, bearing flattened or play exists, the overhaul kit is justified.
- Preserves ride & handling performance: The front suspension’s mount integrity influences tyre contact patch, cornering stability, and steering precision. A worn mount can compromise all of these.
- Eliminates noise & improves NVH: Worn mounts or bearings contribute to noise, creaks, clunks and general poor ride comfort. Replacing them improves refinement and comfort.
- Prevents further damage: If the top mount fails or deforms, the strut, spring seat, bearing or body mounting may suffer damage. A fresh kit protects the rest of the suspension.
- More cost-effective in service: Since the strut top mount is accessed when the strut is removed, it’s efficient to replace the mount kit at the same time rather than later.

What This Product Does:
- The rear shock absorber top mount (sometimes called the strut mount) attaches the top of the rear damper/strut to the vehicle’s body or suspension tower. It carries the load from the spring/damper, secures the strut in correct vertical position and isolates road noise/vibration.
- Over time the mount rubber can degrade (crack, compress, wear), the bearing (if present) can develop play, the studs or hardware may corrode — leading to unwanted movement, noise, poor rear suspension behaviour or handling issues.
- The overhaul kit replaces the mount and all relevant hardware/fasteners so that the damper top-interface is renewed and restored, ensuring correct alignment, proper isolation and solid connection.
- A tired mount or bearing often causes knocking or creaking from the rear suspension—replacing the mount/kit cures these NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) symptoms.
- If the mount is compromised, it can increase stress on the shock absorber rod, spring seat, or mount tower. Renewing the mount protects those components.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Restores rear suspension performance & precision: The top mount is key to how the rear suspension reacts under load. When worn, the mount may flex or move under cornering/braking, reducing tyre contact, upsetting alignment and degrading handling.
- Cost‐efficient approach: If you're already undertaking rear suspension work (shock/strut replacement or spring change), replacing the mount and hardware at the same time avoids repeat labour and future issues.

What This Product Does:
- The top mount (strut mount) is the interface between the top of your front shock/strut assembly and the vehicle’s body (the strut turret or tower). It supports loads from the spring and damper, allows strut rotation/steering movement (via the bearing) and isolates road noise/vibration from the body.
- Over time, the mounts wear: rubber becomes fatigued, bearings get play, hardware corrodes, dust boots degrade, bump stops deteriorate. This leads to unwanted movement, noise, steering issues, or sub-par suspension behaviour.
- The overhaul kit replaces the mount, the bearing, and all ancillary hardware (dust covers, bump stops, washers, lock nuts) so the top of your strut assembly is restored to a like-new condition — improving longevity, reducing noise, improving steering feel and restoring correct suspension geometry.
- You notice clunking or knocking noises from the top of the front strut tower when driving over bumpy roads or during steering inputs — a failing mount or bearing often causes this.
- You hear creaking or squeaking when steering or as the suspension cycles — indication of worn bearing or mount.
- You feel reduced steering precision or vague handling, especially under load — the strut top may be moving or deflecting.
- You're replacing your front shocks/struts or doing front suspension work—since the top mount must be removed, replacing the full kit while you’re in there is good preventative maintenance.
- The mount or hardware is beyond its service life — high mileage, harsh environment, or compromised previous repairs.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Safety & ride quality: The top mount is a key structural point. If it’s worn, suspension movement can become non-controlled, which can degrade ride comfort, dynamic response, and safety.
- Noise & comfort: Old mounts often let vibration or noise transmit into the cabin (knocks, creaks). A fresh mount kit eliminates many of these NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) symptoms.
- Steering & geometry preservation: On a sports car like a Porsche, correct suspension geometry is essential. A compromised mount allows unintended movement under load, which can upset camber/caster alignment, tyre contact patch and therefore handling.
- Cost effectiveness: Since the front strut top mount is accessed during strut replacement or front suspension work, installing the kit at the same time avoids having to redo labour later.
- Prevent further damage: If the mount fails completely, more serious damage to the strut assembly or body mount could result. Replacing proactively prevents that risk.

- The mount or hardware is beyond its service life — high mileage, harsh environment, or compromised previous repairs.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Safety & ride quality: The top mount is a key structural point. If it’s worn, suspension movement can become non-controlled, which can degrade ride comfort, dynamic response, and safety.
- Noise & comfort: Old mounts often let vibration or noise transmit into the cabin (knocks, creaks). A fresh mount kit eliminates many of these NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) symptoms.
- Steering & geometry preservation: On a sports car like a Porsche, correct suspension geometry is essential. A compromised mount allows unintended movement under load, which can upset camber/caster alignment, tyre contact patch and therefore handling.
- Cost effectiveness: Since the front strut top mount is accessed during strut replacement or front suspension work, installing the kit at the same time avoids having to redo labour later.
- Prevent further damage: If the mount fails completely, more serious damage to the strut assembly or body mount could result. Replacing proactively prevents that risk.

*** We strongly recommend replacing the power steering pump at the same time as the steering rack. Swarf (metal particles) in the power steering system can circulate and cause damage to both components.
When ordered together, the steering rack and pump can be purchased as a discounted bundle, providing better long-term reliability and value.
If you choose to replace only the steering rack and, upon return of your exchange unit, we discover that the rack bar is scored or contaminated with swarf, this indicates that debris is present in the system. In such cases, we will advise replacing the pump as well — however, it will then be charged at the full retail price plus postage.
Please note: if we have advised that there is swarf in the system and you choose not to replace both components, any future warranty claims related to this issue will not be valid.

What This Product Does:
- The top mount (sometimes called “strut mount” or “shock absorber top mount”) is the connection between the top of the front shock/strut assembly and the vehicle’s body (strut tower). It supports the load of the spring/damper, allows the strut to swivel for steering input, and isolates vibration/noise.
- Over time, the mount rubber or bearing can degrade, which reduces performance, adds noise, lets the strut shift slightly under load, or causes steering feel degradation. An overhaul kit means you’re replacing not just the top mount but all the relevant top-mount components to restore the assembly to like-new specification.
- Safety & performance: A worn top mount can compromise how the front suspension behaves under load—knocks, poor steering feel, misalignment of the strut and reduced contact patch of the tyre.
- Noise/vibration issues: Old or damaged mounts can introduce clunks, creaks, or vibrations when going over bumps or steering, which degrade the driving experience and signal mount degradation.
- Camber/caster control & geometry: Especially on sports cars like Porsche, the front strut mount is integral to maintaining correct geometry. A compromised mount allows movement under load, changing angle and affecting tyre wear or handling.
- Cost-effectiveness: Since the strut top mount is accessed when you’re doing front suspension work (shocks/struts removal), replacing the mount kit at the same time avoids future labour costs and ensures you don’t just replace part of the assembly.
