rear suspension noise over tar strips

[steved0x]

I actually am 3/4 of the way through installing the passenger side one tonight. I am using the 987 part because I heard it was better and also I feel the 986 part will be easier to resell if I don't send it back to Amazon. However unless it has a better monoball end (and the ends look exactly the same) I can't see any practical differences outside of the slight shape differences.

The old one was shot, I could easily move the end around with my hands, where I can't make the new one budge at all.

I had to stop for the night but will finish tomorrow and will post some pics and stuff as soon as I can.

I'm done with the passenger side and posted a DIY with pictures here:

I read somewhere there was a minor difference in suspension between the 96-97 986 and later cars. the change allowed for larger rims and tires. Perhaps the difference in shape allows for this?
