My 997.2 C4S is on 53000 miles and although there's nothing intrinsically wrong with the suspension except the front feels very slightly loose and very slightly 'clattery' over bumps my indy tells me it is fine. However I can't get over the sense that I should be refreshing the suspension and making it as new. It had top mounts done a year or so ago but everything else original. I guess my question is - gives the costs (as below) is it worth doing all of this, or some of this (ie not the shocks)
1. Front suspension - Refresh.
Parts cost:- Using Genuine Parts
Both Front shock absorbers - £980.22 + VAT
Both Front Lower Wishbones - £629.54 + VAT
Both Front Diagonal Control Arms - £353.24 + VAT
Both Front Anti-roll bar drop links - £121.60 + VAT
Parts Total - £2084.60 + VAT (Estimated)

2. Rear Suspension - Refresh

Both rear tie rods - £283.00 + VAT
Parts total - £2202.70 + VAT (Estimated)

Not interested in track work, lowering it more or anything that makes it firmer and would (probably) like to retain PASAM. Thoughts?
