How many miles are on your car, PorscheKD986? If it’s over 80,000 miles, it may be time to rebuild the suspension, which would include struts, lower control arms, trailing arms, sway bar links, and possibly tie-rod ends and strut bearings. Is your suspension making any noises? That would help determine what other parts may need replacement.

Redciv1, wear on the inside tread of the tire (especially the tears) is normal on these cars, it’s not necessarily an indication of worn out parts.
