To summarize the parts in the front suspension:
1) Sway/stabilizer bar bushings. 4 total. (91134379203) $6/ea.
What happens when these bushings are totally shot?
2) Control arm bushings
(2 per arm, 4 total)
In another thread, someone suggested (91434142200 @ $15/ea) but these seem to be for early 911's.
I'll need to explore alternatives to $225 ER bushings, which seems a bit high.
Control arm bushings seem like the hardest part of the front suspension job.
If I remove the control arm, I can probably get a local mechanic shop to remove and press the new bushings, correct?
3) Front ball joint. 2 total. (91134104901) $70/ea.
Besides a torn boot, is there a simple way to test them while still on the car?
4) Tie rod ends (Turbo 91134732200) $30/ea
Since my car got the turbo tie rod upgrade (15 years ago, 15k miles ago), my tie rod ends should be fine, right?
5) Front strut mounts. What is this? Is there a rubber stopper or something at the top bolt? Anyone know the part number?
Is this part? 91134101800 Do you replace the entire metal mount /rubber bushing combo, or do you just replace the rubber bushing?
6) Front strut caps. Anyone know the part number?
