I just had all 4 lower control arms repalced on my 2002 Boxster S at 35,000 miles. This is because the rubber bushes are rubbish, and start to squeak. This gets worse and worse, and ends up driving you mad!

Problem is that the bushes themselves cannot be replaced - the whole control arm needs changing. Therefore some chunk of rubber worth about £3 ends up costing you £150 because you have to buy the whole thing. Multiply this by 4, then include fitting, and this squeak starts getting expensive.

The good thing is that Porsche know that this is a problem, and I got a contribution from Porsche, as well as my dealership, to help with the replacement costs.

It is still annoying though on an expenisive car like this.
