Annoying squeek in front
1999 966 with 108k miles. New squeak in front, heard at every bump in the road- or when I lean on the front fender when at rest. Where to look- I hold 3 wrenches, but this is my first Porsche and I would rather fix the problem than learn a lesson.
Thanks in advance! |

Sounds like a dry ball joint or a worn out control arm bushing. Either way it is necessary to replace very soon.

Had same issue at low speeds. Ended up dumping lots of money into the suspension and ended up being the control arm bushings. On my 2001 is all one unit, with the lower ball joint so I changed the fronts and the backs along with the springs and shocks and mounts and tons of other stuff but, wow. Car drives like new.
