Sound fun......NOT
Can I just scrape the rust off?
It might be easier.

The corrosion is behind the spring plates, they need to be removed to get at it....removing them is akin to taking out your own kidney....hence the rebuild option is a good one!

Is there anyone local who can help with this? Vacaville, CA 95688
BTW I visited my mechanic Mon. and he said the front sway is bent, so now is a perfect time to upgrade to MO30 sways.
Just checked Pelican and it looks like that runs $532 with free shipping.
It comes with all the bushings, the 30mm front, and 19mm rear.
I'll probably pick it up after I'm done with the electical (rotor, distributor, coil) and a new O2 sensor. Then the car will be upto date. Finally.

Call Sunset, they have the best prices on just about anything Porsche.

Sunset.
Are they a dealership in Oregon?

Just as an FYI, here's a complete list of 968 M030 parts: http://www.weissach.net/968_M030-Option.html

PS: Its 'M030', not 'MO30'

Yep, great place to buy parts. Cost +15% shipping and handling. Great service too.

YMMV,

Who do you use and would you recommend them?

Thanks.

Karl.

Don's Autowerks Campbell.
1320 Dell Ave Suite E (the one with all the Porsches)
I love this guy. I really wish I lived closer because I would apprentice on my days off. So yes I do recommend and seeing how close he is to you, go for it.

Lord_Galva

So it is the dealership in Oregon?!?

wjk_glynn

Thanks for the recommendation.

I've been going to Modderman and have been very happy with him.

However, there's a better than 50% chance we'll buy a house in Campbell in the next few months and obviously someone closer (and who's recommended) would be great.

Dang! You have 2 Porsche mechanics within a 10 mile radius. I have to drive 50miles to the closest one in Sac but I'll still go to Don.

If you haven't already found them, here is the link for Sunset Imports in Oregon: http://www.sunsetimports.com/infohour.php?&search=ppa

They provide Porsche parts at 15% over cost, plus shipping, to out of state customers. I have had good success getting parts from them.

Lord_Galva

Wow! I just got a quote back from Sunset and what a savings!
The swaybar upgrade to M030 from Pelican runs $516.
Sunset runs $367 with shipping.
So basicly I'm saving $150.
Can't get more Jewish than that.

Lord, its always a good idea to check with people before you take a plunge. There are always options and sometimes we are not aware of all of them.
