2009 C2S coupe.
I am getting a clunk (more like a "spronggggggg") in my right rear (car) over bumps and I cannot find what it is. Some suggest it is my sway bar links.... others say a motor mount.
Given my active imagination, could it be the silent recall on "restraining straps" was not performed on my car? I purchased the car used out of state and do not know who the original dealer was.... the Porsche service records are not common or shared across dealers.
I had the car over a grease pit and really worked the parts with a steel bar.... everything seemed really tight.
Any ideas?

That strap recall, from my foggy memory which could be totally wrong here, addressed the way the exhaust was held up - the old strap system held things in such a way that could cause a weld or seam to break over time - the new one is supposed to alleviate that. I'd expect that to cause a leak in the exhaust system near the mufflers.
