964 Suspension part needed
Hey Guys,
I am looking for rear Axle strut plate which is part # 964-331-060-10 (old # 964-331-060-08)
Once again help greatly appreciated.
Trying to put the car together the way it should be.
It is part # 7 in the link attached

If you want it original than you should get TWO new strut/spring plates. But the rubber bushings do wear. The best alternative are rod ended spring/strut plates . They are less expensive than new ones from Porsche. If the rod end gets sloppy you can just replace it and not the entire plate. I have not noticed any problem with the ride.

On a side note, I will be talking to these guys on Monday and I am pretty confident that they will be able to make me a set for both sides

Tarett sells them. When I took the stock ones off I noticed that its just a spherical bearing with a rubber cap to keep the grease in. No bushing at all really. The Tarett piece allows a greater range of alignment and if you get the rubber protective caps they should
last for a while on the street. They are also around half the price of stock which is nice

The spring plate set which is number 7 in your original post. No bushings at all
Are you replacing the rear control arm bushings as well? ERP makes a great kit but it's pricey. I installed the power flex kit (9m originally designed it) and I'm happy with them on the street. Takes a while to install but while the arm is off its a good time to clean them up, replace the bearings, etc.

To those that have the after market spring plates, are there any ill effects to them? Any road noise/vibration etc etc?
Given a choice and having to do it again, what would you go for, OEM rubber vs after market with monoball type bushings?
Thanks
