Quick update: these are still working out really well. The car feels tighter than before and I think it reduced some of the vibration I was getting at 75-80mph. And for a Porsche project, it was almost too easy 😆

I did it with the whole car up in the air using lift bars. Had no problem aligning the bolts, just had to push a little on the lower control arm. I used the existing bolts and torqued them to spec (118ft/lbs). I did not use loctite but sort of wished I did. Oh well.

Took it on two test drives and the clatter is gone. Still can’t figure out what was wrong with the olds ones. But glad the commotion is gone 👍

Another great fix from the forums in the books! 📕
