Front suspension strut top mounting. Porsche 944 1987-91 / 968 1992-95

Fits front axle, left or right side (price per unit) original-spec rubber/steel construction with built-in bearing Direct replacement for OE number 95134301831 (supersedes / cross-references 95134301830 and 95134301804)

This suspension strut top mount (also known as a strut bearing or top mount) sits at the top of the front shock absorber and bolts the strut assembly to the chassis. It isolates road noise and vibration, while the integrated bearing allows the strut to rotate smoothly as you steer.

Designed to OEM geometry, this mount restores proper ride height, steering precision and comfort on ageing 944/968 chassis.

Why these mounts should be replaced

On 30+ year-old 944 and 968 models, the original rubber and bearing in the top mount are usually well past their best:

Perished or cracked rubber – Heat, age and load cause the rubber to harden, crack and eventually separate from the metal plate. This allows excess movement at the top of the strut.

Worn or seized bearing – The bearing that lets the strut rotate with the steering can dry out or rust. This leads to heavy, notchy steering and spring “twang” noises when turning.

Collapsed mount – As the rubber collapses, the front of the car can sit lower on one side, and camber/caster angles go out of spec, hurting handling and tyre life.

Noise & vibration – Worn mounts commonly cause clunks over bumps, knocking when manoeuvring and increased vibration transmitted into the cabin.

Replacing tired original mounts with fresh units is one of the biggest improvements you can make to the ride quality, steering feel and front-end stability of a 944 or 968, especially when fitting new shocks or springs at the same time.
