Steering Clunking over bumps - Bushing Failure?

[CJP80]

Hi All,

My 987 seems to be clunking really badly over short bumps. It's both audible and can be felt through the steering wheel as a judder. There are lots of poor roads in the area and many cobbled streets, this is where I feel the issue the most.

My steering has been like this since I picked the car up (8K miles), although it was made slightly worse by adding the 19" CS wheels. I would probably just have attributed the issue to those but I drove two other variants of the Boxster and Cayman recently, all with 19" wheels and they showed no signs of this problem over the same surfaces.

Is this a known problem, anyone else with a similar experience?

p.s. This is not apparent at high speed or on smoother surfaces.

Thanks in advance!

CJP

Sounds like a loose front swaybar. Check the mounts. and links.
