Just after I purchsaed my 996 i had a front wheel bearing replaced for $350, but that was almost 5 years ago.
Leading evidence: 'Replace $350' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check lug nuts - they were fine' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I just had my strut mounts and drop link bushings replaced earlier this year.

I actually did check the lug nuts - they were fine.

Just a thought Dennis, have you checked the wheel lugs on your front wheels?

Well, the good news is that this was the least expensive Porsche repair I've experienced so far.
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.

Just this morning the C4S started making a strange noise. It only happens when turning, particularly at slow speeds. It takes a relatively sharp turn to make it happen, and it sounds like it's coming from the passenger's side front. It's a loud clunk. At first, it sounded like something in the trunk rolling back and forth and hitting the sides when I turned. There's nothing in my trunk. I just had my strut mounts and drop link bushings replaced earlier this year. What else could it be? Wheel bearing maybe?
wheel bearing is more like a grinding sound.
Have you checked to make sure the bushings are ok?
Sounds to me like you have a loose connection allowed something to pop when turning full lock
I think that's a good idea. I note the suspension/steering was worked on not too long ago and with a noise in that area... last thing touched has to be suspect.
Sincerely,
Macster.
I just had my front wheel bearings replaced. Not too expensive but had to get an alignment.
The noise was more of a squeaking sound when turning at low speeds.
GL with repair.
I just rolled 104,000 miles. I actually did check the lug nuts - they were fine.
I was actually wondering about the possibility of the CV joint... it will be interesting to see what they find.
per wheel. you have to be careful removing the bearing and pressing the new one in. Otherwise, its $800 for a new wheel carrier. Don't ask me how I know.
it sounds like a strut bearing... only c4, c4s has them.... they sit on top of the strut and require lube. When you turn the wheel the dimension changes hence the need for the bearing. The lube dries up after awhile..... my .02
Well, the good news is that this was the least expensive Porsche repair I've experienced so far. As I said in my previous post, this noise sounded like something rolling around in the frunk. What it turned out to be was a large full bottle of Arizona Iced Tea rolling around under the passenger's side front seat.
I should have realized that the noise started right when my teenager got into the car with me. I asked him if he heard the noise, and he said "no". When he finally did hear it, I asked him if he brought anything with him that might be causing this noise, and again he said "no". I don't ever eat or drink in the car, so I know I didn't put it there. He has now acknowledged that it was his iced tea.
Anyway, even though I feel stupid for this being the problem, I'm glad that's all it was.
