I've noticed a deterioration in My steering for a while and assumed it was an alignment issue as I had uneven tire wear, and a tendency to pull when braking(sometimes to the left, other times to the right).
Suspension knowledge is not my strong suit, so I had a local Porsche shop do an alignment, but this made little improvement. I jacked the car up and found the driver side strut assembly would rock considerably. Am I correct assuming this is due to ball joint/tie rod wear? If so, does it make sense to upgrade to the turbo tie rod assembly? Or do I have another problem altogether? |
