Squeaking over speed bumps (front/rear)

• My first inkling for the front is that the lower control arm bushings need to be replaced.

Taking a good amount of cranks to start up in the mornings

• Not sure if it's just the cold weather, or if I need to replace it, but any recommendations if I do need to replace? Should it be the dealership or can I just go to an indie porsche mechanic with a new battery to have it replaced?

If you have any mechanical ability the battery replacement definitely falls into the DIY category and very few special tools, such as a triple square for the seats, are needed. You can monitor the battery voltage on the MFD by selecting it as one of the items to show and then turning the car on w/o actually starting it. Optionally, use a voltmeter on the jumper points under the hood near the firewall.

My right front used to squeak over the bumps. Thought it was control arms. Still could be but I just replaced two front air shocks and the sound is gone. Totally gone!
