Porsche 944 Aluminum Control Arm Replacement

10-10-2003

(These directions are for a 1986 NA. Other years and models may not go exactly the same.)

Tools needed:

  • 19mm socket and wrench, for big bolt
  • 17mm socket for two bolts at back
  • Optional: Hammer, because German cars sometimes require force.

Porsche 944 Swaybar

Porsche 944 Control Arm

There's really no trick to this.

Remove the sway bar (13mm bolts, 17mm bolt on top of the control arm), then remove the 17mm nut/bolt holding the ball-joint.

Then there's just the two 17mm bolts in the back, and the 19mm bolt at the front.

Old one pops right out, new one goes right in.
