Strut issues
Hi All,
I have been having some issues with the rear struts in my 08 Cayman S. When going over bumps I can see the top concave washers move and can hear them jingle like loose change. Also, the left rear is making a clunking sound like there is a loose bolt. I am unfamiliar with struts and even more with a Porsche. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Wanderer

Thanks for the reply. The trim is out currently. I have tried to tighten them but they do not seem to be loose. Do I turn the allen head or the nut? Both do seem tight.

UPDATE: I was able to tighten the nuts on the top of the rear struts but the problem still exists. When going over larger bumps I can see the strut shaft move up and down which is causing the washer to rattle. Is this up and down movement of the shaft normal?
