Replace or Upgrade bushings


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I currently still have a 997C2S Coupe Tip that has just crossed its 4 year of ownership.

The car has been driving great but occasionally I find that there are some intermittent noises whilst driving. I suspect that either the ball joints or bushings could have been worn out after more than 45,000 km of city driving.

Since I am planning to swap this parts out, I like to know if there any upgraded flamblocs (Bushings) or ball joints that would sharpen up the ride and improve its handling?

Are there any easy to install polyurethane bushings available?

Would the bushings from a 997GT3 fit a regular 997C2S?

I look forward to your responses.

Thanks in advance.

Anything other than rubber bushings will ride harsher and eventially make noise.

Check this place out.

There prices are good. Add a rear sway bar if you

want more noise. A front sway bar is a pain on a

997 car. You have to remove the radiator hoses to get to the bar.

You can always go with GT-3 lower a-arms if you want.

Also plan on having your car alinged after the installation.
