My front end has been rattling pretty badly lately. Mileage is pushing 70k. While at a tire/suspension shop today (owned by a long time PCA member, they do lots of Porsche work) to have my wheels balanced I asked them to check out the front suspension, but didn't mention the rattle. They said everything looks "perfect, nice and tight."

From old threads it sounds like one or both of my sway bar drop links are shot. The stock ones at ~$90/pr don't seem to last long, so I'm thinking Tarett, the ones that are $275/pr, not the fancy 5 position ones for $625/pr.

Are these a simple DIY bolt in job?
