Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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

Early 1999 996 Carrera (May 1998) I have a front suspension clunking issue felt through the steering wheel. Emerges after a long series of bad road, or a particularly steep (close to scraping) driveway onto road. Feels like groans and clunks through the steering wheel. So here's the funny thing... if I stand in the trunk and bounce the car up and down, I can't reproduce the noise, or perhaps hear it from the outside, but the thing goes away for a couple of weeks until I hit a new patch of bad road. My speculation is that there is something loose and or worn that I am re-seating by bouncing the car. Any ideas what it might be> Sway bar links were replaced a few months back. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
