At first they were suggesting te top mount (domlager) but after some lubrication, no difference.

So, problem solved so far. Estimate in NL is 1200,- euros in total.

Still see some other with the same problem- only solution is replacing the PASM damper (or indeed exchange for another brand). These sounds indicate that the shocks are WORN and should be replaced

I have a set of two PASM front shocks rebuild at the bilstein tech center. Bilstein says they are good as new. This problem will never happen after this rebuild. But buying a new set of front shocks from porsche will might be a problem again because they have the same problem regarding the DU bushes.

PM me if interested

I have a few sets of takeoff OE 997.1 GT3 shocks if anyone needs 1 or 2.
