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

Happy Monday everyone. I have a funny creeking noise coming from the front and i am just wondering if anyone else has experience this? It sounds like the front (suspension, i am guessing) is creeking much like how an old person does! :floor: When i had the car last service at Porsche i think he mentioned something about bushes or brushes?!?!?! Would these be the issue here? It can happen when i learn on the front and try and rock the car but it primarily happens when going over speed humps and this weekend i noticed even more and so did the passenger next to me! I have its MOT coming up in about 7 weeks and any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Chris

POST 2Original post

Do a search on here, think you'll find it's a frequently occuring problem... http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=37679&highlight=control http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=21722&highlight=squeak Take it to a good Indy for diagnosis :thumb:

POST 3Original post

sounds very much like lower arms somewhere around £180 an arm plus fitting.. will not fail the mot its just the creaking that drives you up the wall

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the post guys. The creeking doesnt drive me up the wall just yet but think it might do going into next year! Can anyone tell me exactly where the bushes are as i think i will try and give them a clean and maybe spray some WD40 on them.

POST 5Original post

Giving them a clean and a spray is a very short term fix. Have a look at www.Design911.com under suspension and you should see a diagram with parts. Hartech do reconditioned arms as it's labour intensive to replace the bushes, think they're about £125 IIRC

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for that. Am i able to get to them without having to take the wheels off?

POST 7Original post

Not 100% but no, you'll need the wheels off, even with a lift as I'm sure they'd be under load with the weight of the wheel, could be wrong though. I don't know anyone who's done this as a DIY job but stand to be corrected...

POST 8Original post

if your doing them they would be better on axle stands with wheels off.. if you know of someone with a 2 post lift then you can do them with wheels on..
