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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm sure you all know the drill. Take delivery of your new ride and for several weeks listen for anything not sounding right. My new '05 "S" bought with 15 miles on it off the showroom floor and no test drive by anyone but the factory now has just 500 miles. The car is a dream especially after my being away from Porsche for many years. But I'm noticing some very faint creaking and squeaking in the front suspension area when it's being compressed as I'm in and out of my driveway at 5 mph or so or over a speed bump very slowly. No such squeak issue when driving, cornering or at any other time. Car handles fine. I'm thinking might just be new shocks-front end not yet fully broken in. Maybe lubrication issue. Any thoughts out there? Forget about it until 2,000+ mile break-in period is up? Or get it looked at now? Anyone had this with their new toys? You just don't want to hear anything of this sort on a new $60K vehicle but again, it is a very, very minor squeaking. Thanks. I'm new to the forum but it is terrific. '05 Boxster S seal grey

POST 2Original post

My 987 base had noticeable suspension noises for the first 1000, maybe less. Back right area, thought it was brake related but could hear it when driving very slow/coasting without the brakes applied. Didn't try pressing down on suspension, but bottom line...it went away (I'm at 2200+ now).

POST 3Original post

Whew! You guys take real good care of your 987's... I'm gonna buy one from wonderful owners like you in 2009 or so. Get all the sqeaks out and break them in oh so properly so I can by with confidence!
