I think its more likely that the shock was damaged becuase it was bottomed out internally. Low ride height and soft shock settings would make this more likely.

996 intermediate shaft problems
Dscott replied to rattles's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
So is it reasonable to simply replace this bearing; like when dealing with the RMS? -
Can't tell from the photo where this is located under your car, but maybe this is something your drove over and it was picked up by a tire and deposited? If this was true you would expect to find this same 'stuff' in at least one wheeel well, too. Is it loose and easily brushed off, or?

Bilstein PSS9 Dampening
Dscott replied to george996's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
On my daily driver C4 6sp coupe w/PSS9's I'm currently running settings of 5/4 for the front/rear respectively, but I still detect a slight amount of bounce at times and will probably stiffen them one more step. PS - I found that the car needed to have one step difference between the front/rear to avoid a pattern of sympathetic bouncing behavior; and it's worse with softer settings. -
2000 C4 Coupe 6spd that dealer advises does NOT have the orignal radio installed. No code found anywhere in owner's manual or paperwork, under hood, or on the head unit itself. Dealer could not or would not provide the code. Radio is working fine at this time, but I need to replace the airbag retaining frame which means disconnecting the bag wire at the steering wheel, and the only safe way to do that is with the battery disconnected.

PSS9's on a 996 C4
Dscott replied to ofpiste's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I recently installed the PSS9's on my 2000 C4 Coupe 6spd. I didn't create a DIY write-up, but maybe I can help you. I spent about 3 days which included performing a 'string' alignment; in the first night I had most of everything off the car. While I was there I also pulled the front diff and replaced both side seals, re-packed both CV joints on the right side (a real PITA!), and ended up installing new wheel bearings on both sides. Only 'special' tool was a huge 1" torque wrench to retighten the axle nuts, but I do have my own 1/2" air impact, hyd press, etc. Do you have specific questions or?
