New Polyurethane Shock Snubbers
New Replacement Shock Snubbers for all 1978-95 Porsche 928
It took some digging - but I finally found a replacement for the old foam shock snubbers for our 928's.
The shock snubber is an important Suspension Part: its tempting to leave them off your car when you replace the shocks..... don't do it.
Here's why: the shock snubber is actually an important "spring" that controls the last 2 inches of travel within your suspension. With a bad or missing shock snubber, the shock can slam into its totally-collapsed position when you hit a pothole, curb, or sudden obstruction.
When this happens, 2 things will occur:
1) you will most likely ruin your shock absorber(s)
2) your spring rate will suddenly go to "infinity" because the suspension is "stacked". When this happens on the front wheels, it will cause a sudden over-steer condition in the vehicle, and the rear of the car will come around. An uncontrolled spin is the result.
A good shock snubber can keep you in control, and prevent damage to your suspension and your car!
