Had a PSS10, with Tarett drop links front and rear, set installed about 6 months ago by a shop in Houston, drove about 500 miles. Have been hearing some clunking upon turning wheel left and right.

Went to have a look here is what I found,



Can someone guide me on how to fix this?

The locking rings are loose.

 

See post #183 in this thread. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-overs-13.html

I think you may need these curved drop links. I would like to know too since I have PSS10's on order.

 

On the pss9 version of those links there is a offset detail and 3 thick spacer washers on top that is missing from your install. I just installed mine last week. Maybe those links are the stock suspension version?

 

Yep you definitely need spacers with longer bolts and you have to really tighten them up hard.

 

From Tarett's website and confirmed with Ira

Drop Link (pr), Front, 996/997/986/987/981/991
(Model = 996/997 TT/C4 with PSS9 or 10 (Part #996TTFDLNK))

Longer bolts would make sense.

Can you post a pic of the spacer? That is if you happen to be underneath

I'll email Ira and see what can be done.

 

 

Edit;

You will notice I shaved off and rounded a small section of the area you were binding with even with the spacers.

 

That helps, dust boots, bolts and spacers is what I need. Thanks guys.

Jim, you end up getting curved ones, similar to the ones that come with the coilovers?

 

Looking at my photo it pulled the metal bracket over as well.

 

I did go with curved ones 2nd time but they weren't quite long enough which resulted in stripping the thread so I went back to the straight ones with with better position/angle including minor grinding part of the front suspension uprights.

 

So took a photo of the link connected to the sway, and it does have a spacer.

It almost looks as though if I flip the link around it could work without binding?

 

Yeah it is upside down there should be 3 thick washer spacers too that go next to the machined eyelet piece.

 

Spacers are in the wrong section of drop links !!!! They should be on the upper section, not lower. The installer got it wrong, big time!!!! I'd go back to them and with lots of questions why they did this.

 

Yeah, not going back there, there were some other non mechanical stuff that didn't go so much. I'll flip them around and hopefully problem solved.

Thanks for the input everyone.

 

When flipping them around I would check the lengths as well as one of the lock nuts is loose and also looks like the arb may have been contacting the driveshaft.
