I'm told the "serviced a PASM(sic)." But I know they didn't do the alignment, so they didn't remove a strut, so the service was maybe drenching things in WD40 or silicon lube until the noise went away?

ps. The loaner was an '09 Cayenne V6 (direct injection, new DVD touchscreen nav) and I have to say Porsche has really improved that car over the years.

I was gonna say drench it in WD 40 but on a GT3 I would be a bit leary.

Thanks for the info, please let us know what they did and if it worked. The clunky I can live with (probably just the metal strut tops), but the squeaking is annoying!
