I have 997.2 with approximately 40k miles and it been fantastically reliable. But lately, I've been getting this rattling from the front or the rear suspension or spoiler over bumps low speeds - like 20-30 miles per hour. I've taken it a reputable Porsche shop but after 20-30 minutes of inspection, the mechanic said nothing is leaking and everything is sound. But it's really starting to get annoying.

After searching through the forum it seems to be tie-rod end links? or something called the upper links - which I've actually never heard of before. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone had similar issues. I've posted a link with a guy who seems to have the exact same sound coming from the car, but he never posted if he had resolved the issue or not.


Thank you in advance

Cheers

Usually it's top mounts, lower control arms, tie rods, or sway bar end links. Could also be the transmission mount.

A crap shoot. Mr Petza pretty much listed the bad boys. Only real way to know, is get some chassis ears and start listening..... BTW, my issues may not be yours....get those dice and start rolling....

You could pull your wheel and stick your head in there and look for torn boots/ball joints...

Yea seems like the culprit is one or a few of those. Seems to be more common that I had originally thought. Thanks for the reply.
