I thought your video was great and just wanted to give you that feedback. I am spending a great deal of time with my gt4 suspension of late as I have installed a front axle lift kit. I have limited travel so it only lifts by 30mm instead of the 40-50mm advertised. As it is at its limit, it sounds terrible in the up position (which is mosly OK as I don't drive it in that position as I am just trying to get clearance to get over something, but still it is unnerving). While I try to sort that out I am checking suspension videos and ran across yours. You are very clear, informative (especially like the torque specs), and step by step. It didn't address my issue necessarily, but I know your video is very good compared to what is out there and just wanted to say so. Thanks.
To change out the Sway Bar bushings do you think you need to remove much of the front suspension or is it as simple as removing the caps and replacing?
Hi Jeff, Great video. If I want to change the top strut mount only, is complete strut removal necessary? Or is top mount replacement possible in wheel well? Thanks
Hi Jeff another question. I have a clunking / clicking noise on my base 981 boxster on low speed turns. I have already replaced sway bar links and Strut mount and bearing, but still persists. Any suggestions? Thanks@
Without having the car here to diagnose I really don't have any idea. There's nothing that people commonly complain about that springs to mind in the front.

Thanks for the feedback Elvis, Much appreciated.

The front subframe needs to be dropped to change the bushings.
Any chance you could do a video on the front sway bar? Or point me to a video you've already done?

You'll have to take the complete strut out.

But that being said, I would be checking the ball joints. Probably have to pop each of them out and give a wiggle to see if they are stiff/loose etc.
