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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Where in Melbourne can I get a leaking shock absorber repaired? I don't do track days. What's the best replacement shocks for a 911 997?

Does the 997 Carrera S have PASM with the adjustable shocks?

It’s likely 15+ years old.  Potentially 18.  I’d check w Porsche or aftermarket re service it or replace it.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yep, it has PASM. Seems other than direct through Porsche, aftermarket is hard to come by?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looked up Koni website. Couldn't find 911 997 listed (stopped at 911 996!). Can anyone shed any light on the reason?

POST 7Original post

There's  a couple of young Guys in the UK "Freinds green Porsche" That do U Tube clips about cars they repair in their work shop, One of the clips covers your question about what to do with a failed PSAM / Suspension in a 997. Give them a google and your questions might be answered.
