Hi all Does anybody know if the front suspension top mounts from a 968 are the same for a 944 S2 ? I need to replace mine on my S2 and a used pair has come up from a 968. Also where would be a good place to get some new from ? many thanks |

I believe that the 968 units can be used on an S2. NLA from Porsche so used is your only option as no-one makes a pattern part either. |

That is true as the S2 and the 968 have top mounts with a 4 degree angle set in them They are NLA from Porsche and when they were available they were £508 each! The dealer restoration competition emptied the parts bins for us mere mortals |

Thanks for the replies So it looks like a good condition used part is the answer then unless anyone has any other options ? I have seen adjustable top mounts but would i need to think about replacing the struts as well ? Alan |

Mine are original at 160k they do tend to last a long time, and if your a engineer the bearings can be replaced The adjustable ones should fit the standard struts |

Yip, echo what Martin says, my original ones going strong at 157k miles and adjustable ones will not necessitate a strut change. Stuart |
