These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This isn't a eureka moment, but... I found the ride on my C4S quite harsh. I found the threads related to a TSB to adjust tyre pressures and I dropped mine accordingly. The ride was greatly improved. I replaced all off the suspension links in November and had the alignment done. The alignment Centre commented that they had to put a few pounds into each tyre. I explained why. It was only today that I realized I hadn't had to adjust the tyre pressures back down. The ride - obviously due to the new rubber bushes - is supple at standard factory pressure and 12 month old PS2s So for those that find the ride in their cars quite harsh, just consider the age of suspension bushes, as while they may not be making any noise or knocks, the younges 996 Bushes are now 14 years old and will have lost their elasticity. Dropping tyre pressures will only mask the real issue. Just food for thought for those unhappy with a harsh ride.

POST 3Original post

If your shocks are original try replacing those as well. My car had a harsh ride. I chased a number of things to improve it, but it was new shocks that made the ride compliant and took the edge off the 'crashiness' of the ride. They were OK to pass the MOT, but MOT does not test the full function of the shocks.

POST 4Original post

:yeah: The diagonal arms in particular made the the biggest difference on mine.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All 4 dampers and top mounts replaced a few months prior to replacing suspension arms. The biggest difference came when I replace all arms on all 4 corners.
