Hello everyone.
My panamera does a supper annoying rubber squeaking noise whenever I am lowspeed and break and turn, basically when the structure of the car shakes on the wheels.
On a closer inspection, my mechanic said I need to replace the bushings on the stabilizer torsion bar.
After searching for bushings I realised they come together with the bar and the cost for it is around 550-600 EURO. The price is huge for a freakin bar but my Porsche deserves the best so I wanted to order it.
PART NUMBER: 97034370141 Surprise ! when calling the Porsche official dealer, they told me they cannot quarantee a delivery time since, surprise ! some of the parts wore made in Ukraine (etc), and it can take as much as 2 years to be delivered. This is absurd.
Since I cannot get this part, does anyone know what I can do ? is there any way to change just the bushings ? my mechanic told me that if I change them separately it will still squeak, isn't this torsion bar from some audi or something similar ? so I can get it from another car model ?
Unless the it has been damaged, you don’t have to buy a new bar to replace the rear bushings. They are 2 piece bushings. I just changed mine earlier this year. I would get a second opinion.
Great to hear that !
Can you or anyone help me identify the code for the bushings based on my VIN ?
The car parts and porsche dealership say the bushings don t come separately and I need to replace the whole bar with the bushings bont to it.
Thank you !
hello everyone,
in the meantime I managed to change the Bushings on the stabilizer torsion bar with 29mm ones that fitted the diameter of the bar. First week all went perfectly fine and absolutely no more noise. After 1 week or so, the noise started again but only in certain temperature conditions when it-s very cold (under 12 degrees). The colder it is the more rubbery noise it produces.
Does anyone have any clue about what the hell is happening ? This noise drives me mad. Did anyone experience this ?
I wanted to change the whole bar with bushings and everything with OEM one that is very expensive (700-800 $) but I could not do it because they said it s not available and it could take as much as 1 year for the item to be available.
When you have summer tires and cold temperature when you turn your wheel with move car you have sound, this is Ackerman effect, it's normal. For the stabilizer torsion bar you need 2 x réf : 970 343 793 05 ans 2 x réf. 970 343 792 05

I had squeaks when new bushings etc installed under warranty about 50k miles ago. When it was cold they were loud and drove me crazy. Dealer said common issue, put some sort of lubricant on them and they’ve not squeaked since. If they start after this post I’m suing you for causing it
