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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, Does anyone know the polybush size for a MK1 996 Carrera 4 tip 2001 ? front and back?. http://www.type911shop.co.uk/shop/category_895/Polyurethane-Bushes.html?sessid=kvpKRmpRhT0ZhFGasYofI15rrWnQ8TwuiFD5LYFtkxsReYKD1YM1VeNxZh0FqlXZ&shop_param=cid%3D%26 Ive put a set of calipers on the roll bar and still cant make up my mind, plus is the bar reduced slightly to stop lateral movement at the point of the bushes which would mean removing the old bush to get a true measurement. Thanks in advance. Regards Richard.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok thanks, So what size is for M030 & M032?.

POST 4Original post

Not sure as Porsche arent very helpful and PET has no sizes on it! Its best to measure the bar you have on the car

POST 5Original post

Probably not helpful Richard but Bennetts list 3 size options at 19, 20 and 21mm.

POST 8Original post

This is going to confuse things even more for you Richard. I looked at the MY1998 Technical Information book, and this is what it says are the diameters of the tubular anti-roll bars for the C2: Standard (M029): F - ø23.1 x 3.4 R - ø18.5 x 2.5 Sport (M030): F - ø23.6 x 3.5 R - ø19.6 x 2.6 I think you need to bite the bullet and measure them at the bush diameter.

A bit more info from the manual, but not much more help:

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all for your help, After much research I think I'm actually going to go rubber as the EM are well made and Ive heard a few bad reports from people that have tried poly. Too hard, noisy etc. At least it looks like the rears should be 18.5's

Worse than going to the sweet shop.

POST 13Original post

Not to mention that you would have to remove current bushes to measure the hole and even then the sizes are that close it could be an either/or situation. I always thought polybushes were too hard for pure road use.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Exactly, And I don't keep enough Nurofen at home.

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