I am new to this forum - really excited about my new to me 993!
I definitely had an issue with the spoiler being noisy upon retraction. After reading the threads here and the instructions on p-car and Bergvill I have a brand new superior bearing and no more noise! It is super quiet now. I ended up ordering my bearing off Amazon.
S625-2RS Ceramic Si3N4 Stainless ABEC-5 Sealed Bearing 5x16x5 Bearings
To help seat the bearing I used a 6mm stainless steel spacer tube I got from the local hardware store. It was just the right size to press the bearing in place with a vise.
