John,

I used Porsche bushings for the front position on the controls arms after receiving a set of 'name brand' bushings with Made in China stickers on them. Maybe the Made in China ones were fine. However, I decided to buy the Porsche ones. It seems Porsche is sourcing stuff from Europe if the part is not made in Germany.

For the rear control arm bushings, I used bushings that were claimed to be German made bushings (as found here on Pelican). I couldn't do the $101 per bushing for the Porsche ones...when the "German" ones were $34.50 here at Pelican. However, one bushing was out of spec and slipped right on to the control arm (and would fall right off). These need to be pressed on with a hydraulic press and to say they fit snuggly would be an understatement. I ordered another "German" one and it fit very snug.

Again, all new rubber components on the front end is really enjoyable. Though, I'm a bit more picky about suspensions, alignment and wheel balance than most people.

I replaced the CV joints on my car since they clicked quite a bit. My new boots did not have (nor need) a clamp on the half shaft either.

I too am ultra thankful for our health care providers that are on the front lines of this war. Their sacrifice is immense...
