Shock towers squeaking ??!
So, I have a 2013 991 Cs2 and I am hearing a squeaking noise on the front top shock tower location (both towers) when driving. It sounds like poly bushings creaking.
It is a CPO car, but can I spray silicon, Teflon or graphite to make it go away or should I take it in and "get it fixed" under the CPO

I sprayed mine with white lithium grease from above and below and it worked perfectly.

So, I used high pressure grease as in the video and the squeaking is believed to be in the lower arms. I then used a spray lithium grease on every rubber component I could see associated with the suspension yesterday and let it soak overnight. Well, this morning after 15 minutes of driving it came back. I just re-visited all lower rubber and letting it sit for a couple of hours to test again.
any thoughts?

If that doesn't do the trick, It's off to Porsche for CPO action

I'm betting $100 this is the squeaking pad issue.

My upper strut mounts were squeaking, but the dealer replaced the tank pads. After the squeaking came back, I sprayed some 303 Aerospace Protectant on the upper mounts and the squeaking has been gone for a couple of years now.

I'll have a video tomorrow. The noise starts up after the car gets to temp and I drive for a few miles. It is much louder when driving straight. When turning it stops or is very slight. When I park the car, I can get out and push down on the front bumper and I can hear both sides (mainly the driver's side) squeak away. . . .
