My vehicle is pulling to the right, not a lot but notiable Alignment, four wheel: While up on the rack we Inspected steering and suspension system components. It was suggested, Connect alignment equipment to verify, and adjust front and rear wheel alignment settings , for caster, camber, and toe in/out settings. thrust angle where applicable and center steering wheel. Some vehicles may require installation of alignment shims. This can be done at one of your local Porsche maintenance shops. Im having it done for $234.70, since I don't have the equipment or knowledge to do myself. The price was right. Strut/Shock Bump Stop Assembly, front: I need to remove and replace front shock absorber bump stops, strut bearings/strut mounts. After 54k miles they are showing large cracks. I was quoted $1627.48. I have a friend in the neighborhood who is himself a pretty good mechanic. I think we can get this done for much less $$$ ourselves. On my last inspection they found nothing wrong with the rear suspension components. no unusual wear in the rear tires, but they were replaced before I purchased the vehicle. I will definitely keep my eyes open to the rear tire wear now. -
I have had the same leak, at the same place. I just purchased a 2005 Boxster automatic 54k miles about a month ago. When I drove home and parked it overnight there was a small puddle passenger rear side. I looked up under the vehicle and the overflow hose was wet. I went to the trunk and there was a black cap on the expansion tank. I replaced it right away with the Blue .04 Cap. I wiped the residual coolant off the strut below the overflow hose and drove it around. I came back no leak. I thought I solved the problem, not....I took it to the dealer in town and had some overdue service's performed. They were supposed to do a pressure test on the cooling system, drain and refill. I found out later after multiply leaks that he considered the vacuum a positive test. That cost me and aggravated the hell out of me. I took it to another dealer in town. He preformed a pressure test and found it was the expansion tank leaking. I went back to the other dealer and talked to the owner. He said it was his mistake and will pay for the replacement of the expansion tank and the labor he charged me to empty and refill the system. This comimg Tuesday after replacing the expansion tank they will preform an other pressure test to see if the rest of the closed loop is ok.
