Worn Suspension Diagnosis
Last year, I had the driver's side, lower control arm replaced. It was squeaking badly, indicating steel on aluminum (bushing had worn through). The dealership diagnosed the problem, quoted $850, and my moonlighting mechanic did it for $400...
Last night, I heard a similar squeak coming from the same area and I now own a repair manual and have some tools and feel comfortable in trying to do this myself.
How do mechanics figure out which part is worn in a case like this? Start removing stuff and doing a visual inspection?
I sure would like to hear from you mechanic-types (PorscheDoc, MNBoxster, etc.)
