Control Arms and Tuning Fork - 996 030 Sport Suspension

[keitho64]

Good afternoon.

I have a 2000 C2 with the typical front end squeak coming from the control arms. I am going to replace both control arms and tuning forks. The car has the factory 030 sport suspension. Do any of you know of the control arm and tuning fork bushings are unique to the sport suspension?

Thanks in advance.

Don’t think so, I replaced the forks and wishbones on my 03 with sport suspension and the parts bolted right in
I think the difference is in the sway bar and springs

Thank you, I was thinking they were all the same but wanted to be sure.

Job done. Took about 2 hours of which 15 minutes spent trying to get clips on under tray off. One ball joint was very stiff and had tons of friction, also felt like it was grinding when I was able to move it. Other side was very loose.

The ends of both tuning forks were very loose and the new ones are definitely stiffer.

I took it for a quick drive, I am not sure if it a placebo effect but the steering is much crisper, the ride feels even smoother and NO SQUEAKS.

Nice work
