Finally got the car transported after purchase. Going through it... It would have been nice if PPI would have mentioned a few more of the obvious items. But anyway, I wanted a LEGO and seems to got one 😃

The wear appears quite disproportionate on the absorber bump stop. I'm assuming I need to disassemble the whole thing to replace it. Wondering what may be causing the passenger side to be so chewed up. Perhaps someone/something did chew it up?

Oi had to have mine replaced after a post-purchase inspection caught them. It appears that they can deteriorate w/ passing of time rather than use. The climate the car was in probably also plays a role. I went ahead and took advantage of the situation and also had the shop install new front shocks while the whole front end was disassembled. Mine was a 2006 997.1 and it lived most of its life in the west, CA/AZ so the dryness probably played a role in the deterioration.

The passenger side is closest to the shoulder and the ditch plus the crown in the road puts more load on that side. We used to align cars based upon the crown of the roads most driven. It is typical in my experience to see that side wear quicker.

Good to know. Thanks.

Apparently it's challenging to find the rubber stop in stock. Pelican Parts needs to order from Germany. 3-5 weeks wait time. Anyone used after-market rubber stops or any other alternatives?

Good call, I was actually looking at a different (wrong) part. Thanks!
