    How did you air the suspension back up?

    Clear explanation TY. Question, is there a specific sequence on how to blead the nitrogen out of the system before removing the air shock? Also, do you know if the guy on FB still has the new air shocks for sale?

    Why did the control arms get replaced instead of just bushings replaced?

    • @TomorrowsTek
      @TomorrowsTek  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't have a press in my garage, and the control arm kits with bushings pre installed were not bad priced

    I have a squeak over bumps so I want to replace my sway bar bushings. Your video was helpful for that, but do you know the torque spec for the metal plate bolts that needs to be lowered?

    That swing arm is actually the sway bar. My 2016 GTS is in need due to noisy front end. I’m looking for poly or solid rose joints

    I’m looking to do the same thing on mine. Minus the airbags and brakes. This was very helpful. I need to order some of the special tools you needed. FYI as soon as I saw you were going to do the work in your driveway I was like his HOA has to be crazy cool but you answered that question 😅

    Thank you for video. Do I need to remove the shock to change the upper control arm? Porsche has designed this car well to work on :) My upper control arm is toast. So I need to replace this weekend. If I have to remove the shock then it's a bit more work than I was expecting...

    • @AaronsTalks
      @AaronsTalks 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, need to remove shock for upper arm. It was my lower control arm that was stuffed... Upper doesn't see too much of the punishment but that lower seems to turn out sad a lot of the time.

      Yes Sir, I hate things not being complete. when i purchased this it has lower radiator damage where some one had it to low. I had to replace the radiator and the metal frame cover that you take off to get the oil changed. I now need to replace that as it was missing.

    Once again, you're reading my mind! I need to replace the lower control arm on my right front. It doesn't look that difficult, arguably.

      So, the swing arm bushings come in two halves?

      Did the upper control arms a couple weeks back and still getting some creaking over speed bumps. Wishing I had just done it all while I was in there.
