Good day, fellow Stuttgarters!
I recently acquired a 2011 Panamera 4S (a sea of beige and walnut!)
After hooning down to France and back, the fuel pump gave out 30 minutes north of Le Mans.
Now that the car has been recovered to the UK for repair, the local OPC has discovered that the adjuster on the sub frame for the n/s/r lower suspension arm has "broken" (attachment uploaded). I am being offered a "whole new subframe" but am VERY dubious i really need this.
In the spirit of full disclosure, wheel alignment was performed prior to my journey at a local Porsche specialist (not the OPC where the car was recovered).
I have requested comment from the specialist that undertook the alignment but have not received any response as yet.
I guess that I am REALLY asking is "has anyone seen this before?" Having to replace a whole subframe due to a "broken" wheel alignment nut...? Is it possible to "break" the alignment screw?
Thanks,
Phil
PS - am not really a newbie, I used to have 993 Turbo back in 2011 but have lost my original login details. StaplehurstFats was my handle, although I was not a really active poster...
