Lozzer Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi All I'll start with a 'Happy Christmas' - it is mid-November after all ! The front 'Tuning Fork' control arms on my 2001 Boxster need to be replaced due to worn bushes. This was identified at the first service I had at Cotswold Porsche and I think is the cause for a rather annoying rattle/clunk every time I go over an uneven surface (the coffin arms have already been replaced). I have managed to put this off all year but the plan is now to sort it over the winter ready for spring, so I am now doing my research. My question is simple - does anyone know why nobody (if I am wrong please point me in the right direction) produces replacement bushes for this part ? I can find replacements for pretty much every other suspension bush on the car but not this one ? As the arm itself is fine it will really grieve me to have to part with close to £200 to replace both arms in their entirety - surely there must be a good reason why this bush cannot be replaced ?? Any advise or explanation greatly received. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjo1 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 its due to the movement/design in that particular bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josil Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I've not replaced my tuning forks, but when I had them off, the part that screws into the chassis moved quite freely and didn't feel like it was full of rubber inside. Felt more like a small bearing inside protected front dust and water by the rubber boot. Saying that, there are upgrade options (or looks like it) https://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/product-details/Track+Control+Arm+Inner+Bush/1525.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
