Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all, Just after a bit of advice. I have an 2006 Cayman S with PASM. After a 'spirited' drive around my local country roads ( and catching a couple of potholes), I have noticed the front suspension making a knocking/rattle when going over any bumps. I can only assume that something has come loose. The strange thing is that when I turn on the PASM it completely stops. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Stuart
Anti roll bar would be my guess.
Great, I will have a look. Don't quite understand why PASM would fix the issue though.

I could of course be wrong but your symptoms sound just like mine after a track day in my 986S some years ago. I called AFN Reading who said come in now an we'll have a look (I lived up the road from them) and that's what it was - loosened anti roll bar.
Broken spring would be my guess, usually lose the bottom coil sometimes hard to notice it's broken off
Haven't heard of many springs breaking but everything else suspension wise on the 987 is made of chocolate. So: Track rod end, coffin arm, or if it's just noisy over very light bumps, the rear stay.
Just had a spring break on my 987. Arranged to have both replaced and when garage took the other one off that was already broken as well. According to one of the Porsche specialists this is the second most common MOT failure for 987's

My springs didn't break: Damning proof. Hey! You! Put that fvck'ing Kit Kat down!!!
Was just about to eat an Orange Kit Kat as well !!!
