Klackiting in my front and rear suspension - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

does this mean my shocks/struts are in need of a replacement...sorta sounds like a broken shock slapping the suspension when i go over cracks in the street at normal speeds like 25-45 mph

Could be a CV joint too.

i had that issue on my car; turned out to be the bushing on a diagnoal control arm (can't buy just the bushings). i replaced the control arm. i have since found out that there are bearing cartridges available for the boxster; these should last longer. can't remember where i saw them (maybe the racer's group, elephant racing, or performance products)..

If i had the car up on stands or a lift, how would i be able to tell if are those bushing? would i be able to shake the wheel and notice the control arm moving slightly where the bushing is?
