Front strut noise

[mdillian3690]

When I go over a bump really fast I sometimes get a noise in the front end. Sounds like the strut to me? Any suggestions

The most common cause is a loose sway bar. I would suspect that first and the top strut bolts second.

I apologize I am new. I just got my 00 C2 last week. Is that an easy fix? Can I just tighten them?

Yes, unless there is damage. Torque the 10 mm stabilizer mount to stabilizer to 34 ft-lbs. and the 10 mm stabilizer to side member to 48 ft-lbs. Also, check the stabilizer to shock mount should be a 12 mm bolt torque to 63 ft-lbs.

Chances are only one is loose but it's best to check them all.

I must remove the cover first? right? thanks!

[Loren]

Yes, just the front cover.

Thank you! I am slowly getting to know my car. I just got new tires and currently playing with the tire pressure.

By the way, these is the best site I came across, regarding Porsches! I used to have a S4 and belonged to Audiworld.
