Anyway, I had a similar problem, but it turned out to be worn out control arms.

I have the same problem withh my '99 996 cab, I sent it back to the dealer and they replaced the top mount to no avail, and still couldn't track it down.

First, under the hood, the check the strut tops if they have play.

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 have an 02 996 Cab and after I drive the car hard for little while. The front suspension started to squeak as I drive over every little bump in the road. The dealer keeps telling me this is performance car not a Lexus.
Is this normal for an 02 996 with 35K miles?
here is what you need to do. go to the dealer, get out of your car, find that guy. Take your hand and put it by your ear fully open. take aim on his face and bitch slap him...
you might want to check a couple of things... First, under the hood, the check the strut tops if they have play. For some reason they could be worn and the shock shaft is moving around. Second... put the car on a lift, jack stands and remove the wheel from where it is making the noise. check the sway bar links. it is possible a joint is not moving or suspension is rubbing somewhere. Also check your brake pads, old brake pads squeak even if you are not breaking at low speeds.
Hopefully those are helpful hints. If you can pinpoint the noise, let me know and I will try to be more percise!
I have the same problem withh my '99 996 cab, I sent it back to the dealer and they replaced the top mount to no avail, and still couldn't track it down. Looks like if you need a job done right you need to do it yourself...
Haha
Anyway, I had a similar problem, but it turned out to be worn out control arms. I could swap them DIY. As a starter, I recommend that you spray all the suspension-related bushings with some high temperature lubricant, like HHS Wurth. The noise might go away.
you know.... i had the same problem a while back.... then it went away for about 2-3 months...... now it's back.......i'm convinced it's a ghost...... and all porsche's have them..... just some are restless, and others are a pain in the ***....... mine happens to be the latter.
