Hi Folks,
Since purchasing my 996 I've noticed that the front end has a tendency to wander and feel a bit sloppy this is also accompanied periodically with a clunk which appears to be coming from the struts.
Both front struts have been replaced around 12 months ago but I don't see any indication that the strut top bearings were replaced at the same time. Is it likely that these are the culprit of my issue?
I've already purchased some CTE control arms from carparts4less as I also have no history for replacement of these (both the tuning fork and coffin arms). I've also got the drop links which were a steal at £35 for the pair.
I'm concentrating my efforts on the 944 currently but I will get the front end up on the jack stands and do the standard checks holding the wheel to see if I can work out what has play.
Thanks!
