This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 1 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Dear all , I've searched the forums and google but am unable to find the information that i need, I have changed my stock front lower control arm to the RSS tarmac series lower control arm but after a year it creaks like the video below hence I would like to change back to my stock LCA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNxvp97gtrM The issue is the part number some say both are the same some say it's different. My car is a 987.2 cayman S in reference to the two pictures below. Can I use the LCA in the 2nd picture (part number first one is 997 and second one starts with 996 but the middle section look different? Many thanks.

POST 2Original post

I had same question so I just got the picture on the left to make sure.

POST 3Original post

It's the same part right and left as long as you aren't using a GT3 style adjustable arm.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
