Hey Rich- Please call me at 303-503-5908. I'm interested in the rear seat you're selling. Thanks, James

Hi Rich, I just happened upon this by total chance, I lived and drove Porsches in Switzerland for over 20 years. My go to GURU is in Zurich even when I have a problem here in California, http://www.garagewydler.ch ask for Nicola or email him, Niki Wydler <info@garagewydler.ch> for a recommended shop in Lausanne. Tell him Thom Ruben sent you. For videos google Wydler Motorsport, Nikki has been racing for like 40 years...

Hi Rich, I am sorry i do not have any contacts in Lausanne. The ones i used to know have moved on and are not in the industry anymore.

yes, it was the left front tie rod end link. it felt fine when you grabbed it and shook it but the sound went away when replaced. it was about $30. easy to do yourself if you have a jack. good luck.

Hi Rich,
I just bought a 2005, and it has a front clunking noise similar to what you reported in this thread:

Did you ever determine what the issue was? Was it springs, or hood latch, or ???
Thanks
