Check your CV boots

[Rodger]

I just did the inners on my 2000 S. What a pain in the butt!!!

I had the exhaust apart for my PSE install, so it wasn't too bad, but the clamps the dealer gave me were worthless and I made a greasy mess.

I'm hitting my CV boots with silicone spray to keep them soft every oil change, because I don't want to be doing that work again anytime soon.

My experience for all four replaced, 3-4 hours labor, $50 a boot from Porsche. Do it ASAP tho, if any grit or sand gets up into those grease-less CV joints, it'll tear up your bearings and eventually the axle.

Nice car Schnell, I wish I had the beautiful background access you do up there!

would this be the cause of the clicking I'm hearing up front when I turn the steering wheel?

No. The front end doesn't have any drive axles, unless you have an AWD Boxster.

More likely you're hearing a worn out strut bearing, tie rod end or ball joint.

see thing is I'm not sure if I'm hearing it up front. This car is weird sometimes.

The boots can be bought anywhere....Porsche part....and Cheap if you shop around.

pain in the BUTT, maybe if you are tool challenged. I didnt take my exhaust out and I got them out and back in. But really, it was a simple job. 3 or 4 hours...well it took me longer because of various reasons, but I did it easily in a day.
