Detailed Description

Bilstein 23-219960 is a front suspension strut assembly for Porsche 911 models equipped with standard suspension and DampTronic or PASM electronic damping, depending on year and configuration. It is compatible with 2012-2013 Porsche 911 front, 2014 Porsche 911 front, 2015 Porsche 911 front, and 2016-2019 Porsche 911 front applications listed for standard suspension or standard suspension with electronic suspension (PASM). This part cross-references OE numbers 991 343 045 09 and 991 343 045 12 for the same application.

Built with a twintube internal design, this Bilstein shock absorber is aimed at preserving the original suspension response expected from the factory system. The black painted finish and OE-style mounting configuration support a clean replacement on the front axle of the Porsche 911.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end ride harshness from a worn electronic damper
• Excessive bounce or reduced damping control
• Loss of steering precision and road feel
• Uneven suspension response on PASM-equipped vehicles
• Restoration of factory ride quality after damper wear
