Default 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

It's actually the bushing i need that goes in there and I can't find the bushing hence the whole plate

There's got to be some one making the custom bushings?

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.

Awesome and sorta makes my evening too Do you have any links or the part numbers?

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.

ERP makes an adjustable spring plate for 964 turbos. Google it or find ERP on the net.

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
