Drop links stay the same unless you are planning on changing the sway bars, which depending on what sway bars you use may require new drop links (i.e., GT3 bars would).
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,.. Been a member for a while but mostly lurk trying to pick up ideas and had a question...
I have a 2000 6/spd cab and wanted to put on the pss9 suspension I picked up like 6 months ago...
Will I be alright just adding the coil overs? I see a ton of threads with multiple others parts added but... What I wanted to do is just add the coilovers until I decide what sway bars and drop links to go with.
Any gotchas? I have new upper mounts ans have added needle bearings between the upper and lower springs just so I don't get the dreaded pss9 clunk but just wanted to know if it was cool to put these on this weekend and slowly add the rest.
I know I can purchase all the pieces and take it to a shop but I would rather do all the work myself... Only issue being I can only work weekends as, while I live in Virginia,.. I work full time in st Louis and the cab is my airport commute car.
Thanks for any info,.. It will be appreciated.
Bill
You might have to do drop links with the coilovers, I think the stock ones might physically be too short (or long) to fit on coilovers. The sway bars and other components are not necessary for coilovers.
awesome,... thanks for the responses.
That's what I was afraid of. Oh well,.. back to ordering parts!
Any suggestions on where to get the drop links?... I was looking at Pelican and a couple of other vendors and the prices seem to run all over the place.
Thanks a ton again!
Bill
To put some finishing touches on this thread, there are few things that can make sounds describrd. Each has to be looked at, or uf u do full bore approach, do all at once to fix sounds issue.
1. Lower control arms - known culprit, squeak or thud when going over bumps. You can inspect and see bushings tears. Fix is to replace control arms.
2. Upper control arms - known culprit, squeaks over bumps. Will be hard to inspect bushings as they are obstructed. There is process to inspect on cayenne section. If you replaced lower control arms, and sounds still present, replace the upper control arms. Plus read next point.
3. Upper shock mount bushings - known culprit in air suspension, clunking sound over bumps, especially low speed. These are rubber stops inside each shock. They are supposed to keep internals aligned, but if they get worn, internals of shock stary flopping around, hence clunking sound. Remedy is to replace said bushings. I have a diy from cayenne section on how to do this. Not hard, and if youre doingupper control arms, you have to remove air shocks, giving you perfect opportunity to to replace.
4. Sway bar bushings - not as common for squeaks. Easy to replace, but i would do thease aftervabove 3 are addressed. I have diy on sway bar bushing repair on here in cayenne section, i think.
5. Sway bar links - not as common for squeaks, easy to replace. If i reolace sway bar bushings, might as well do th ese too, cheap and need removal to change sway bushings.
After fixing my cayenne which has similar noises, thst users ovserve and repair, i would tackle these noises in shown order. Very doable as diy.
You do not have to change the drop links. The PSS9s will replace the existing dampers and springs. Drop links stay the same unless you are planning on changing the sway bars, which depending on what sway bars you use may require new drop links (i.e., GT3 bars would).

Thanks again!
