Super, I was looking at the Bentley for the carreras and it has some great diagrams of the a-arms and the front suspension. The torsion bar looks to be secured at the front by the control arm and the control arm mounting bracket. the rear by the t-bar retaining cap and adjusting bolt and thats it.
Heres what it says for removing the strut if you have to and the control arm. Hopefully this is what you are looking for. The following should allow the strut assembly to be removed (provided you loosened the top. Remove cotter pin from tie rod nut and remove castle nut. Using special tool VW 267 a or equivalent, separate tie rod from steering arm. remove ball joint wedge bolt. carefully pry out or tap on control arm to push ball joint down out of strut housing. (It also looks like that strut cap is torqued to 184lbs.)
To remove the front control arm remove cotter pin from ball joint lock plate. Remove slotted round nut from ball joint using porsche special tool # P280b.
Hope this helps Super. DT
