was taking my 1st drive of the season yesterday when i head a loud pop and my steering felt like i was driving a 1981 chevy caprice classic. the boat like steering made me drive it immediately to the local deal who tells me today that my rack & pinion went bad in the car. has this happened to anyone else in a 2011 boxster spyder??

 

That really sucks man, sorry to hear. Hasn't happened to me w/ just over $7k miles. how many miles are on your car (guessing pretty low)? how have you been driving it (commuting,track days,etc) ?

 

14k no track. Just spirited street driving. It's under warrantee so im not that concerned just wondering if it could possible b sway bars. I don't think so

 

Got the car back from lober motors and they supposedly fixed the r&p. But the car was still not handling like it used to. These idiots at the dealership actually didn't reconnect my front sways to the adjustable links. Wtf. I wish I was closer to the porsche exchange or any other dealer except these guys. Even after I reattached the sways it still doesn't handle like it used to. I would not b surprised if they just put some wrigleys spearmint gum on the broken parts and put it back on right after they chewed it for a couple of min. Lesson learned NEVER take your car to lober Porsche EVER. Better off pushing it to the next nearest dealer. Positive note: will b filling out the survey Porsche sent me
