Have and unusual issue with my 997.1S. The right front suspension makes a creaking noise only when it's driven on wet roads and over bumpy pavement. Has anyone experienced this before?

I get the same on my c4s. Also right front. I've sent it in 3 times to the Porsche dealership and they can't find anything wrong. It's really annoying!

In most cases this is caused by a loose or broken upper strut mount.

How do you tighten the upper strut mount? If that's not the solution do you replace the mount or the whole damper?

Old post BUT there was a tech bulletin about this, 4075.  The spring top is not shaped correctly and sits wrongly, contacting the spring plate and/or the stop plate (6 and /or 4).  Fix is new springs: for the coupe, C2S manual, they are 997 343 531 42 504

That post is 7 years old that you responded to...

Also, the TSB 4075 for that fault also listed in the VIN of the cars involved - so hopefully they have all been fixed by now.
