Great video. I'm just purchased a 2011 Panny and am looking for self-help videos and this is a great one! Thanks

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 so much for your channel. Absolutely love your vids right amount of detail. Panamera is just such an amazing car to own and being able to learn how to do some of the things myself helps keep the running costs down. The PDK service i will leave to the experts doing that oil and filter change scares the living day lights out of me.

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?

@AaronsTalks Ай бұрын

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...

@tomorrowstek I've watched this video several times and dug through the links and CANNOT find where you bought the Upper and Lower Control arms and air bags. Could you please repost the link? LOVE my 2011 and can't wait for the creaking to stop when I drive! Thank you in advance-

Good work. Just need an under tray cover to keep the muck out and improve aerodynamics for higher gas mileage

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.

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

@TomorrowsTek 6 ай бұрын

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

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 wish I could have found a better quality joint as well. there were none at the time due to covid i guess.

hello and thank you for your video it helped me a lot however I wondered how did you manage to re-inflate the suspensions after replacing them please? because I know that the compressor only adds air and not total reinflation. Have you been to a Porsche center? THANKS👍🏻

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. Great job! How hard was it to paint your calipers?

So, the swing arm bushings come in two halves? Simply pull the old ones out and insert the new ones? Sadly, I do not have a furry assistant. I can borrow one if it helps the job go better??

Make sure you get alignment. I haven't finished the video. But get it done. I know you need to after this type of job.

@David.-_- yes and very important to also have the psam in the mode you drive in the most before alignment as it will change alignment in each mode causing premature tire ware

Did upper and lower control arms tie rod and still hearing a slight rattle on the passenger side..im thinking it’s prob the swing arm.. I had noo idea it was so eazy to replace..great video btw I’m jealous of your good weather 😢

@TomorrowsTek Жыл бұрын

yea man that swing arm bushing was pretty easy. it would be easy to probably get to without tearing all the other stuff down also. I did the video back a few months ago, Just have been really swamped at work and this one needed quite a bit of editing and I lost some of the footage :) Thanks for your support and kind words.

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. Good to see how easy the lower and sway bushings were. At least I have the hard part out of the way. How did you like the caliper paint? Thinking of doing that for my Audi. Thanks for the video!

A nice video did your Porsche gave you a on the dash chassis failure system before changing the upper control arm bottom control I have a problem with mine is a 2010 it has a clunking sound when you hit some pot holes so I feel it might be the upper control all the bottom control can it be what you put in car can you please let me know thank you for the video I was thinking of changing the upper control arm or any of the bushings

Only if you replace the level sensors. I just used the plastic parts that broke instead of replacing the whole units. I only recently got a piwis iii so I can and will do a video on how to do it in the near future
