I think the dealerships have a lot to do with the problem. Example: I took my 01 in for the "clunk over rough surfaces" problem and they found three other problems. Fine and good, but they couldn't find the source of the clunking noise. After researching here and other forums I told them to check the rear control arms. Alas! It's the control arms. Problem not solved. Clunk still there.
A month or two ago my alternator took a crap, car went to an indy mechanic and they brought up the clunking noise on their own. They tried to pin-point it and told me basically it is probably some worn out bushings but the warranty company won't replace them if they are not visibly cracked/split, etc.
Could a Porsche mechanic not know this? Don't tell me they know nothing of this problem. If you search this forum and others it is a
very common problem. Perhaps it was just the one dealership that I dealt with but it was the first and last time my car feels the hands of a "Certified Porsche Mechanic."
