It's just as likely your front end judder is a bent or out of balance wheel. Let's put this in perspective: replace the tie rods after 85k miles? Would you do that on a Toyota, or even a Chrysler product? Shucks, the car should be basically barely broke in.

Contrary to Porsche mechanics dreams, a leaky shock is not grounds for immediate replacement of said shock, much less all four. If the car isn't bouncing around, it's not an immediate problem. If you want to replace the leaky shock, do the pair on the same axle set. Then do the others at a later date.

This car has to get up on an alignment rack and see what's going on, check both the front and rear alignment.

The "very best" Porsche often seems like the one who can pad the bill the most.:dance:
