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

Sounds like stock mounts would be the way to go in your case as the monoball ones will make a good bit more noise.

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?
