Rear clunking/rattle - Which control arm goes first? Torque Values?
Rear clunking/rattle - Which control arm goes first? Torque Values?
2009 C2S coupe 55K miles - all year, all weather driver.
With my Boxster S, it was the lateral arms... the ones that goes front to back. In the 197K miles of ownership, I think I replaced at least all of them twice and a few three times.
My 2009 C2S has a clunking/rattle in the right rear. I had it up on jacks and could not find it. I checked the three bolts on the top of the struts, I put a tire iron in there and twisted and wedged and no joint/bushing moved more than the others. Wacked with a mallet........
All OEM.... I replaced the sway bar links a few months ago.... improved but not really.
I am very sure it is a control arm. So, unless someone in Philly has some chassis ears they can lend me for a day, I want to just replace the most common offender. 997 331 043 01
So, which rear control arm goes first?
Any one know the torque values for this part?
Peace
