That feature was added to late only strut mounts.

I always figured it to be a vibration damper.

I've seen a 1992 968 without it, while my '93 and '95 both had it.

OK Thanks guys. Yeah, the car is a 1994 968. I wasn't sure if they were original or not or what they were for. Thanks!

Can anyone show me a cheap valve spring compressor that fits an 8v head?
