Those of you saying this was a one time thing... I totally used it again! Lubed up the actuators again while I had everything apart for plugs/coils. Now I am down to 50 bucks/use
Anyone in Houston who wants to use it, just PM me. Plenty to go around.
I decided to give the Archoil a try. If anyone is looking for a good way to reach the ball joints I used a plastic dental syringe that I had laying around and I used an inspection camera to see the top ball joint on the drivers side.
bottoms ones were both easy i just drove the car on some rhino ramps. then i went to take the rear wheels off to do the top ones and noticed one of the lugs is not like the rest lol.
it has damm oem porsche wheel locks and i don't have the key! going to see if the dealer i bought it from maybe has it or has a spare if not i guess i will buy a new wheel lock set from dtla porsche for $75 bucks on monday
It came in a few days and works great. You have to count the number of splines and measure the diameter, the ebay page explains it. The link is to one specific key, looks like there are about twenty different variants but this guy seems to have all of them.

found it in the frunk by the tool kit. i must've forgotten about it when i looked a few months ago when i first got the car!
Used this turbine oil, has a pull out spout which makes it easy to reach the joints. I found one of the 4 had some rust. Cleaned them with CLP and then applied this Turbine Oil.
just finished doing mine. was easy about an hour total
the bottom ones you just drive on some ramps and you can get to easy and the top ones you take the rear wheels and wheel liners off and with a long hose you can get to them also easy. the driver side top is slightly further away
Is that a BMW 2002 on the right there? Holy cow, what is that like 50 years old? Impressive!
