• Porsche 996 TURBO 2000-05

Diagram Ref No 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

What This Product Does:

• The top mount (strut mount) sits between the top of the shock absorber/strut and the vehicle’s body/strut tower. It supports the loads from springs, damper, steering (via bearing), and absorbs vibration/road noise.
• A monoball mount version replaces the standard rubber mount with a spherical bearing (monoball) or very stiff mounting that provides more direct steering/suspension feedback, reduces deflection under load, and keeps suspension geometry (camber, caster) more consistent during hard cornering.

Symptoms & Signs You Need Replacement:

• Clunking or knocking noise from the top of the front strut tower when going over bumps or during steering inputs — a worn mount or bearing often causes this.
• Squeaking or creaking noise when steering the wheel, especially at low speeds — the strut mount bearing may be worn.
  
• Poor steering feedback or vague handling, especially when cornering hard — a worn mount can cause deflection and loss of camber control.
  
• Excessive vibration or noise through the body from the front suspension; worn mount rubber or bearing can transmit more noise.
  
• During a shock/strut replacement or front suspension overhaul — since the top mount assembly must be removed anyway, replacing the modern monoball upgrade kit is logical to restore or upgrade suspension quality.
  
• Steering geometry issues — if you’ve had camber/caster issues, or your tyres are wearing unevenly at the front, a poor top mount may contribute.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Suspension performance & tyre contact: On high-performance cars like a Porsche 911 C4/Turbo, the front suspension’s geometry and mounting rigidity matter a lot. If the top mount is deflecting, you lose optimal tyre contact patch under load, which reduces grip, increases tyre wear, and impairs handling.
• Durability & noise/vibration: Rubber top mounts tend to degrade over time (cracking, flattening, absorbing road noise). A good mount + bearing kit eliminates unwanted compliance and noise, and lengthens life of the strut/damper assembly.
  
• Precise handling and steering feel: The top mount bearing allows the strut to turn with steering; if worn, you get sloppy steering feel and delayed response. Upgrading to a monoball mount helps sharpen the steering and gives more direct feedback.
  
• Prevents repeat labour: Since access to the strut top requires removing mount or taking down the strut, doing a mount/bearing replacement while everything is open is cost-effective. It avoids having to redo labour later when noise or wear returns.

Front Shock Absorber Top Mount & Overhaul Kit.
Renew the upper mount assembly of your front strut towers with this comprehensive kit designed for Porsche 996 C2 1997-2005. This kit includes the top mount, precision bearing and all necessary mounting hardware—lock plates, washers, dust caps and more.

Fits:

• Porsche 996 C2 3.4L 1997-08/01
• Porsche 996 C2 3.6L 09/01-2005

Diagram Ref No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11

What This Product Does:

• The front strut (shock absorber) top mount is the connection point where the top of the suspension strut attaches to the car’s body (strut tower). It supports loads from the spring and damper, allows steering pivot (via bearing) and isolates the mount from road noise/ vibration.
• Inside that mount is a bearing to handle rotation as the front wheels steer, and various hardware/plates to secure the assembly.
  
• Over time, rubber mounts can deteriorate, bearings develop wear or play, mounting plates may corrode, dust covers degrade — this leads to noise (clunks, creaks), reduced ride comfort, compromised steering feel or alignment issues.
• The overhaul kit replaces the top mount, bearing and all associated supporting hardware so you restore that upper strut interface.

When You Should Consider Replacement:

• Clunking, creaking, or knocking noises from the front suspension, especially when turning or going over bumps, often signal worn mounts or bearings.
• If the steering feels vague, resists turning, or doesn’t return to center smoothly, the top mount bearing may be binding or worn.
• A degraded mount allows unwanted movement between the strut and body, resulting in increased harshness, poor damping response, or “floaty” handling.
• Always replace the top mount and bearing when fitting new front shocks or coilovers.
• These are wear-matched components, and reusing old mounts can undermine the benefits of new suspension.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Restores handling & ride quality: On a performance car like a Porsche, the front suspension’s mount integrity is critical. A worn mount allows movement under load, reducing handling precision, altering tyre contact patches or upset steering response.
  
• Eliminates noise & NVH issues: A degraded top mount/bearing often causes unpleasant noises from the front suspension — creaks when turning the wheel, clunks over bumps, rattles from the top mount. Replacing rectifies the source.
  
• Pre-emptive maintenance saves cost: Since the front strut top mount is only easily accessed when removing the strut assembly or front tower, replacing the full mount kit while you’re working in that area is far more efficient than doing parts piecemeal later.
  
• Prevents escalation of damage: A failing top mount could lead to bearing failure, strut shaft wear, mount plate fatigue or body mount damage — addressing the mount prevents cascading failures.

Front Shock Absorber Top Strut & Contact Bearing Kit.
Restore proper suspension operation on your Porsche 911 (996 series, 4WD and turbo models) with this comprehensive top mount kit. Designed for the front strut tower, this kit includes left and right upper strut mounts, contact bearings and all necessary hardware to ensure smooth, quiet and accurate suspension movement. Ideal when replacing worn mounts, upgrading shocks, or eliminating clunks and steering noise.

Fits:

• Porsche 996 C4 3.4L 1999-08/01
• Porsche 996 C4 3.6L 09/01-2005
• Porsche 996 C4S 3.6L 09/01-2005
• Porsche 996 TURBO 2000-05

Diagram Ref No 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

What This Product Does:

• The strut mount (top mount) is the structural connection point between the top of the front shock/strut assembly and the car’s body (strut tower). It absorbs loads from the suspension (spring & damper) and allows the strut to pivot (for steering) via the bearing.
• The contact bearing or pivot bearing allows the front strut to rotate as the wheels are steered while maintaining smooth operation and minimal noise/fretting.
  
• Over time, the mount’s rubber cushion, metal plates or bearing can degrade, leading to noise, poor alignment, or less effective suspension function. The kit restores correct mount geometry, alignment, reduces unwanted movement, and improves ride/handling feel.

Symptoms & Signs You Need Replacement:

• Clunking or knocking noise from the top of the front strut tower when going over bumps or during braking/acceleration.
  
• Squeaking or groaning noise when turning the steering wheel – could indicate the bearing is worn.
  
• Excessive vibration or harshness coming through the body when driving, indicating the mount rubber may be fatigued.
  
• Uneven tyre wear or vague steering feel – if the strut mount is worn, the strut top may move under load, affecting geometry.
  
• During shock/strut replacement – because the mount is accessed when replacing the front shocks, it is wise to replace the mount/bearing at the same time to avoid future failure.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters:

• Safety & handling: The strut mount plays a key role in the front suspension’s operation. A worn mount can compromise handling precision, ride comfort and may allow excessive movement under load.
  
• Noise, vibration & harshness: A deteriorated mount/bearing leads to unwanted noise and vibrations that degrade driving experience.
  
• Longevity of other components: If the mount is worn, the bearing, strut rod, or strut top plate may be overloaded, leading to premature failure of those parts. Replacing now can prevent larger issues.
  
• Cost-effective during service: Because the mount/bearing sits atop the strut, it typically requires partial suspension disassembly to reach. Replacing during suspension service is more economical than later doing mounts alone.

2” lift kit with subframe drop kit for Porsche 996 

Introducing the 996 Bolt-On Lift Kit, compatible with the C2, C4, and Turbo chassis. This kit mounts directly onto the top of the struts in conjunction with our subframe drop system, providing approximately 2 inches of additional lift. This enhancement improves ground clearance while preserving the vehicle's original ride quality.

The kit is engineered to work seamlessly with both OEM struts and aftermarket coilovers. The front upper mounts are designed as a two-piece system to facilitate camber adjustments when necessary. Additionally, while the OEM strut towers permit minor adjustments, our mounts are specifically designed to allow for increased negative camber if required.

Subframe drop kit
When lifting a 996 chassis, the extra height required for taller tires will increase axle geometry. Adding a subframe drop will improve axle performance and longevity. It will also allow for more suspension travel and relocate control arms for better geometry. 

Designed for Porsche 996 Overland/Safari projects. 

Spacers are CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum then gray anodized for protection. 

Hardware is 10.9-12.9 custom built from scratch. No universal threaded rod. All zinc coated for lifetime of corrosion resistance. 

Kit Includes:
2 x Front Lift Spacers
2 x Rear Lift Spacers
18 x Subframe Spacers ( 4 sizes)

Set of 4 Front & Rear RENNLINE PRODUCTS



Under extreme conditions, such as road racing and autocross, negative camber is required to keep as much of the tire's contact patch on the road as possible. Stock suspension mounts will not allow you to achieve the necessary amount of negative camber required for this type of performance driving. Rennline's sealed camber plates incorporate FK motorsports spherical bearings and eliminate the indistinct feedback associated with factory rubber mounts.

Fits
