Seriously wondering about the build quality on 996TTs now !

Previously clonking front suspension in 20-40 mph town driving over crests / dips is now present at front AND rear wheels. Suspect anti-roll bar is still the culprit, could be bushes too. Any one else had this on a 996, TT or otherwise ? (35K ‘01 Tip’ Model)

Cheers

This is a very common problem when you drive like an old woman.

The car gets bored and loses the will to live.

May I suggest a trip to the Ring, growing a few inches and not wearing women's underwear?

BTW, my neck still hurts from sitting in the back of your tin can.

Morris get off my Thread.

Hauling your lard ass in car is what did for the suspension in the first place !

Yep had a few squeeks from mine, turns out it's the lower arm joint so that's to be replaced at 25k miles.........

Well had a service, new breaks, wheels re ballanced, suspension wise I have had all 4 drop links replaced £350 and perhaps also need front axel links too £100 parts per side ! (they were £169 but just Porsche has just lowered the price - i wonder wht :-)

Will enter all service details on my car stats info.
