Yes, they're available. Call PP and ask for the torsion bar end cap. They used to have them in the online catalog. If not call Porsche... only a couple bucks each.

James,

Did you need the end cap? It should still be sitting around the garage if you want it. The adjustment bolt is sitting in the red car; looked at it last night. The end cap can't be far away. My buddy in Andreas (near New Ringgold) had a bunch of suspension parts. I'm going to call him tonight to see about a replacement rear trailing arm. I can ask him if he has any if you would like.

Thanks guys,
How do you install the cap?
On my original A-arm I appears that it was pressed in and then the end was clamped in place.

There was a plastic shim there but no metal cap.

You guys know what I mean right? On the front end not the torsion adjuster.


Thanks again spoke let me know if you find it.

From what I recall, its just pressed in.
I took mine out to remove the torsion bar...then just put it back in...carefully.

I have a few cars worth of suspension if you need something..
If you can wait, I am going to Hershey...

yup... just pressed in. You may want to whack it with a plastic mallet to spread it out a bit and hold it tight.
