More than I'd like to admit! I also ordered bearings, axle nuts, and swaybar bushings. I'm preparing for battle! When a Porsche shop wants $300 an hour to do anything, I'd rather just replace it for a couple hundred bucks and not leave it up to chance. Plus everything will be apart anyway.

In theory the shop that did the alignment and road force balancing was a pro tire shop, Wheelworks here in San Jose.



Date stamp is 17th week of 2021, so under 4 years old and visually in great shape. I haven't tried the 9/3, 12/6 test so will look into that.



Is this something that can be done visually? Or needs to be done by a tire shop?



Thanks so much for the update, I'll be eagerly waiting to hear your results, I had considered this as a potential fix also. How much is that job going to run you in parts?

Thanks again everyone for the help!
