Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Fitting by a specialist technician is recommended. Replace front dampers as a pair, follow the factory torque values and have a full four-wheel alignment carried out after installation, as the 996 is sensitive to geometry settings. Inspect top mounts and bump stops while the strut is out of the car. A worn front damper often reveals itself through tramlining, a floaty nose at speed and uneven inner-edge tyre wear.

Fitment checks before ordering

Because the listing covers both two- and four-wheel-drive variants, please compare the OE number on your current damper or send us your VIN before ordering, and we will confirm compatibility with your specific 911.
