Fellas,
About 3 years ago I changed the front suspension bushings on my 1979 930 due to squeaking noises. Over the last 6 months the front suspension started making again, and it got more and more severe, so I thought it was time for new bushings (again). This weekend I took the front suspension apart, and to my big surprise the squeaking noises didn't come from worn bushings, but from the bushing cups (for lack of better description) which connect to the steering rack.
One bushing cup is cracked at the way through!
On the other bushing cup the spot welds for the support bracket part is cracked, and the pieces have separated completely.
Has anyone else experienced something like that, and can offer a good explanation to the root cause of this? This really puzzles me.
