OE Match Standard
The OE Match Front Shock Absorber Kit includes both left and right shock absorbers, providing a complete front suspension replacement for compatible Porsche Cayenne 957 models. Each shock absorber is designed to replicate the performance of the original Porsche shock absorber, offering the same damping characteristics, mounting geometry and durability as the factory shock absorbers.
SET OF 2, Left and Right.
Fits:
Porsche 957 Cayenne (9PA1) 3.6L 2007 - 2010
Porsche 957 Cayenne S / GTS (9PA1) 4.8L 2007 - 2010
Porsche 957 Cayenne Turbo / Turbo S (9PA1) 4.8L 2007 - 2010
Cars With Option Codes:
1BW - Comfort Suspension/Damping (Steel Springs)

By replacing both front dampers together, the set restores balanced suspension behaviour, consistent handling, and a smoother, more controlled ride. This is essential on vehicles where matched damping forces across the front axle are needed for proper steering response and stability.
This shock absorber smooths out bumps, potholes, and road imperfections to provide a more controlled and comfortable ride. It helps keep the front suspension stable during braking, cornering, and acceleration, supporting predictable steering and confident road-holding. By reducing unwanted oscillation, rebound, and vibration, it prevents instability and restores proper suspension performance when the original damper has become worn or ineffective.
Over time, shock absorbers lose their effectiveness through internal wear, fluid leaks, or weakened valving, which leads to a harsher ride and reduced suspension control. A worn damper allows excessive movement, causing instability, longer braking distances, and uneven tyre wear. Replacing it with a fresh OE-match unit restores proper damping, improves handling confidence, and helps maintain overall driving safety and comfort.
You should fit a new shock absorber if:
• The ride has become bouncy, unsettled or harsh over uneven surfaces
• Handling feels loose or unstable, especially at speed or under load
• The vehicle exhibits uneven tyre wear, or suspension components show stress
• Shock absorber shows leaks, damage or reduced damping performance
• You are refreshing or upgrading the suspension for improved comfort or safety

Each damper duplicates the original’s damping rate, mounting geometry, and mechanical tolerances to deliver predictable ride quality, handling performance, and suspension comfort. Because vehicles have left- and right-hand dampers, ensure correct side when ordering; ideally replace in pairs for balanced suspension behaviour.

Porsche Standard Front Shock Absorbers | Design911 Suspension Components for Ride Comfort, Stability & Control
Standard front shock absorbers are fundamental to your Porsche’s suspension system, ensuring smooth ride comfort, precise handling, and consistent road contact. By controlling the up-and-down motion of the suspension springs, they maintain tyre grip, stability, and chassis balance — especially during acceleration, braking, and cornering. High-quality shock absorbers are essential for preserving the dynamic performance and safety your Porsche was engineered to deliver.
At Design911, we stock an extensive range of standard front shock absorbers, designed for precision fitment, performance, and long-term reliability. Manufactured using advanced damping technology and premium materials, these shocks restore comfort and handling to their original specification. Whether for regular maintenance, restoration, or road performance enhancement, our range ensures your Porsche maintains its signature balance of comfort and control.
What Do Standard Front Shock Absorbers Do?
Front shock absorbers work alongside coil springs to dampen suspension movement, improving comfort, grip, and handling predictability.
Core Functions:
• Control spring rebound and compression for smooth ride quality.
• Maintain tyre contact with the road for safety and performance.
• Reduce vibration and body roll during cornering and braking.
• Enhance steering precision and chassis balance.
• Protect other suspension components from excessive wear.
Efficient, well-maintained front shock absorbers are crucial to the precision and comfort that define every Porsche driving experience.
Why Do Front Shock Absorbers Fail or Degrade?
Shock absorbers are constantly working under pressure and exposed to varying road conditions, heat, and moisture, all of which lead to wear over time.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Fluid leaks from internal seals reducing damping efficiency.
• Corrosion on the damper body or piston rod.
• Worn valves or seals affecting pressure control.
• Impact damage from potholes or rough roads.
• Age-related material fatigue or oil contamination.
When front shock absorbers wear out, drivers may notice poor ride comfort, reduced braking performance, uneven tyre wear, and excessive body movement — all clear indicators for replacement.
Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Front Shock Absorbers?
Replacing worn shock absorbers restores suspension responsiveness, ride quality, and handling stability. Upgraded units also offer improved damping consistency and extended durability.
Key Benefits:
• Restores smooth ride comfort and handling balance.
