The caster changes ever so slightly, but the difference was something like 0.2-0.5 degrees so totally miniscule.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

996 C4S front top mounts vs 997 C4S I'm considering replacing my front shock top mounts. I've read that the 997 C4S top mount is a cheaper replacement and fits the 996 C4S? Has anyone done this and can confirm the items are identical direct replacements? Just wanting to check before purchasing, I'm looking to buy ones from Spyder Performance circa £50 vs £87. TIA

POST 7Original post

997 top mounts fitted to mine and have just had the geo done with no issues

POST 8Original post

I have now had 2 sets of Spyder top mounts on my 997.2 C4s. The first set failed after 3 months, locally Indy replaced them under warranty 12 months ago and the new ones are now failing. I may just be unlucky? It means more time off the road and another front end geo

POST 10Original post

Replaced the top mounts in my C4 with ones from a 997 and just had it aligned. The caster changes ever so slightly, but the difference was something like 0.2-0.5 degrees so totally miniscule. Otherwise they are a drop-in fit.
