Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, I’ve been the owner of a 2005 997.1 80k, for around 2-3 months. I’ve become aware of a Knock from the front end when hitting bumps (more noticeable at low speed) I’ve currently got it up on the lift at the moment and having removed all covers can’t see anything that stands out! Although there is a very small amount of play vertically in the front left and I can feel there’s an amount of knock at fall lock if I bounce on the limit of lock side to side! Anyone knowledgeable can give me some guidance much appreciated! Lee. In addition this week front left corner creeks (noticeable when I pull up and get out, sounds like the suspension is taking time to settle)!

POST 2Original post

Hi, I had a similar problem. It was caused by the droplinks. These are fairly easy to replace and solved the problem. Gerry

POST 3Original post

Hello Lee, You might get more responce in the 997 section, but yes could well be droplinks.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
