Rear Toe Control Arm

[husker boxster]

I don't have bumpsteer, but my car is not lowered (well I do have PASM so it's 10mm lower from the factory). I do have the max rear camber as mentioned before. Our local track (I-29, nee RPM, nee MAM) has become very rough and no noticeable bumpsteer. Drove at COTA back in Feb and there are a few bumps there that didn't cause any uneasyness.

I had the dealership do my suspension changes - Tarett monoballs on all 4 corners, GT3 control arms on the front, Tarett toe arms on the rear, and Tarett thrust arm bushings (hockey pucs). Added a race alignment of -2.6 front and -2.0 rear. When the tech came back from his test drive, he stated that that's how Porsche should've set the car up from the factory. I've since added Pedro's rear bar that connects the bottom portion of the suspension and backed the front camber back to -2.3.

I drive my LE from spring to fall and my CSS is my 'winter beater' as well as DE and show car during the summer. I have an old set of Blizzaks that I use in the winter and she gets around great on ice or snow < 4". When I was working, I had to get to work and she always got me there. This was pre-work from home and even when that was an option, I'd come in to prove I could. Porsches have great insulation from salt plus you do lots of hand wash jobs. A typical winter only has 2 or 3 really big storms. Now that I'm retired, I can plan ahead with provisions and stay home when it snows big time.

And when someone asks if I drive my Porsches in the winter, I say in my best German accent, "Dey have snow in da Fatherland ".

Hello Husker, do you have the Tarett hockey pucks on the front and rear thrust arm bushings?
Saludos!

PS: Tarett products are indeed addicting..

Hi Gilles, sorry for the delay in responding. The shark battery was dead (10 days appears to be the limit) and I couldn't get Sydney on the Quick Jacks until yesterday. The answer is:

2 - only front. I couldn't remember when I wrote the post and that's why I didn't say 2 or 4. But after looking yesterday, they're only on the front. Hmmm... maybe I need them on the rear, they're probably worn out by now. Add to cart?

On my car I have the Tarett sway bar drop links (F&R), the steering links (F), and the toe links in the rear and I am happy with them.

However, I believe that the kind of spherical (teflon/nylon?) will eventually start rattling once they start to wear down on uneven roads.
I am already on the second set of rear toe links (first set was from Rennline (installed first on the 987 and then moved to the 981), and the second set is from Tarett that were installed about a year ago.

But now I started to hear a bit of rattling on the rear end and not sure yet if the noise comes from the Tarett links, or from the OEM coffin arms, the car has about 39k..

PS: The bottom line for the OP question, for the long run I would recommend the OEM style rubber bushings, that are supplied by several good European manufacturers like Lemfolder, TRW, Mahle, oh, and by all means avoid URO..
