Despite its low (11k) mileage, my MY02 996 has had numerous visits to the OPC to replace suspension bits, usually front strut top bearings, but including new drop links all round, new bushes, new lower wishbone! Has anyone else has this much trouble, and now that my car is out of warranty - what is the fix?

Very helpful advice there :wink:

Our car also had that...They fixed it first time when it was in for a service. I'll ask my dad later what it was they did.

my 996 C2 suspension also creaks like a ship in sail, although sometimes its drowned out by the windscreen creaking noise.

i have had the windscreen repaired twice (silence for around 6 weeks, then starts again....) and will be going in again.

i'm completely unsure what to do about the other noises, i think i'll wait and see what happens....
