Clunky noise from front end
 
This noise is happening when it's warm. Here is how I can characterize the noise.

Like if the spare wheel holder had come loose, making the spare wobble a bit. Seem to come from the front right section, just in front of the torpedo.

It happens when you drive a while.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the front spare has come loose. Have you checked its secure? :p

Does it happen when you accelerate, brake, turn, hit bumps or just when the car is idling? Could be a control arm?

I had "clunking" from my rear. I changed the control arms and it went away. I would check the control arms.

Good luck.

Or maybe just the drop links. Easy to replace and not expensive.

Very common, happens on all Boxsters eventually, just your control arms. Cheap to buy, very easy to change (one bolt at each end), 20 minute DIY job with the wheel off.
