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)
