Front shock top mounts
Hello fellow 996tters my 03 tt is making the squeaking sound when turning. My local Indy replace the front thrust arms only a week later the squeaking sound return. Now they told me to replace the top mounts. The dilemma is should I just stick to the stock Porsche units or should I upgrade to the Tarrets units. My car is 99% street use but I do exercise her regularly. I’m getting old now, so squeaking car drives me but. Thank you for your guidance |
stick with the oem mounts.

Sounds like stock mounts would be the way to go in your case as the monoball ones will make a good bit more noise.
|
look into the elephant conversion units. you cut out the rubber from the oem mounts and a monoball is installed and screwed into place. about 300$ for the set for the front
|
If you want a cheap OEM solution, get the OEM 997 turbo front strut mounts. They are a direct replacement for the 996 ones and 90 per side on suncoast.

997-343-015-02 and 997-343-016-02. Order the bearing plates as well, you will likely need them. 996-343-501-00 |
Why do they even bother making the 996 mounts if the 997 mounts are half the cost?
|
They probably don't make them anymore but Porsche still has plenty in inventory?
|
I'll buy that.

I just received mine ER strut monoballs for front and rear among with some other upgrades. Looking forward to seeing how it feels!
