And i thought it was normal !

My understanding is that metric screwdrivers are also needed to work on Porsches since they are European. SAE screwdrivers are the wrong size and will strip the heads.

All this talk about Johnson rods and muffler bearings and nobody even mentions the recurring tail light fluid problem...

I would say, "Don't get me started," but it's too late. What about the IMS, RMS, PMS, PBS, TBS, CBS, ABC, NBC, PVC, and OMG bearings? Huh? HUH?!?!?!? It's enough to make us all say, "WTF?!?!?" Toss in the AOS and MAF problems, and we get buried in TLAs.

P.S. In case you aren't in an acronym-heavy industry, TLA = Three Letter Acronyms.

I only fill my tires with the breath of Unicorns
I change my Johnson Rods with each oil change - Every 15k miles as Porsche recommends.

First thing to look for is cracked/damaged rubber boots on the various suspension ends.

Well sort of... being of EU manufacture you will need a set of left handed metric ones.. oh and a set of reverse thread torx drivers as well.
