What parts make up the suspension on a Porsche Boxster?
The Porsche Boxster is fitted with an industry standard form of suspension system known as McPherson struts. Here is a diagram showing the assembly of components which make one of these struts. As you can see, one of these “struts” is made of several components. Suspension Damper – Also known as the suspension strut, or Shock absorber. This components job is to tie the entire suspension strut together. It also has an inner shaft which is there to control the “bounce” or “rebound” of the suspension. Without this, if the car was just mounted on springs, the car would bounce after hitting a bump, its there to control the absorbing of shocks as you hit pot holes or to stop the car bouncing high in the air following hitting the ground after a bridge or ramp. Coil Spring – The job of this component is to offer resistance to gravity and to absorb shocks as you drive over bumps in the road and then try to return the car back to a safe riding height afterwards. Bellows – Like all bellows on a B
