Genuine Porsche 996-333-511-03 Rear Shock Absorber Compensating Plate 4.0mm

The Genuine Porsche 996-333-511-03 is a precision metal compensating plate that sits between the top of the coil spring and the strut top mount in the rear suspension assembly. This OEM component measures 4.0mm in thickness and is engineered specifically for Porsche 996 and 997 chassis vehicles.

Key Features:

• Genuine Porsche OEM quality - part number 996.333.511.03
• Precision 4.0mm thickness specification
• Compensates for spring manufacturing tolerances to ensure correct spring seating
• Maintains proper static ride height and suspension geometry as Porsche intended
• Rear suspension application for 996 and 997 models

This compensating plate, also known as a spring shim or coil spring spacer, is a critical suspension component that ensures optimal vehicle handling and ride height. Using the incorrect thickness or missing this plate can alter ride height and affect camber and handling characteristics. Porsche marks springs with specific tolerance codes, and the correct compensating plate thickness must be matched to achieve the manufacturer's intended suspension setup.
