I have a 1999 996 with about 110 000 klm or just over 60000 miles. It is used as regular transport but i have noticed some noises recently has anyone got any suggestions on what they could be.... Noise from front end like a dull rattle when going over bumps, sometimes it does it and other times it does not. It is a low deep rattle from the drivers side. I then noticed that when I steer to full lock, and then quickly move the wheel from full lock back and forth rapidly i am getting a knock from the steering. Could this be related?Or seperate problems? I also notice when I put the tiptronic into drive the noise from the box increasing. It is making a quick tapping noise which is resonably high pitched. Any help would be useful as I live a ling way from a Porsche workshops Cheers

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.

I'll move this to the 996 forum...
My guess would be front strut bearing supports. Common after about 50,000 on 986/996. When you change them, time to do shocks at same time, same labor.
