I�m in the process of refreshing the rear suspension in my 2000 996. Purchased Meyle lower control arms (coffins?, 99634194101) and upper trailing arm (�tuning fork�, 997.331.04.30). Compared to the original Porsche arms, where the upper trailing arm attaches to the lower arm using the M12-70mm bolt, there�s a gap of about 1 mm between the prongs of the tuning fork and the bushing, whereas the original Porsche pieces have much less, about 0.2 mm. Has anyone else found this, is this amount of play an issue?

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.

I think Lee Sibly went thru this exercise in one of his ninewerks videos. You may want to check.
I�m pretty sure that when those bolts/nuts are torqued to the proper value those gaps will be gone�
^^^^^ this
Yes, I just went through this with my suspension. Once torqued all was well.
