Great job guys. Now we can all enjoy a squeak free Porsche.
I will be doing this after I get some Cayenne maintenance done.
Awesome. Thank you for not dying and for doing this.
Yves, did you fish out the brace out of the lake? lol

On a serious note, this is the situation with the swaybar bushings and links : the sway bar is a critical component to PDCC or 'active suspension'. As a result, both the bushings and links on any car equipped with said option are different from cars with a standard suspension.
I am having the sway bar bushings changed out on my 2011 turbo (along with upper and lower control arms). I got a call from the shop that Porsche sent them the wrong swaybar bushings. I should have provided them the part informatoin you provided when I dropped the car off.

The ropes were actually used to tie the swaybar to the chassis so it couldn't drop when the brace was removed. This is also the procedure as explained in the mechanics manual.
On a different note, I noticed that the new swaybar bushings are WAY smaller than the old ones. Since they simply won't fit I called the Porsche dealership where I bought them and they admitted mistake. Apparently there are 2 different sizes bushings. My car is a Turbo S, so it may have a more beefed up sway bar, don't know.
The parts they initially sent me were ; upper bushings (Porsche 97034379205) lower bushings (Porsche 97034379305)
From what I was explained the parts for my car should end in "07" as opposed to "05"
Just trying to keep it light for us all.
I just returned from California too. My daughter was in a soccer tournament, so I was there since Thursday Thanksgiving day, and just came back.
Was frickin' cold there. It was in Southern Cali - Corona, near Ontario CA.
She has few tournaments all around the country so if there is another one in CA, I will see if we can meet up with some fine folks from here, trade some Panamera stories, maybe some beer too.

Doug is confused. We express our beer production (highest per capita in the US by the way) in hectoliters. The metric tons relates to the local pot farms, which are also rather successful.
Net, we could have an awesome gathering around here
Oh - and there's also great roads. MacKenzie highway (HWY 242) which runs through a 10,000 year old lava flow is as exiting as the Tail of the Dragon.
