It may help some around there

Just change (myself) the winter set from Porsche (full mount Wheels+tires).

NB: I do not have enhanced dampers

Jacking up each wheel, using the jacking point , I eared a "boom" on the highest point

The following wheels have done the same front and rear.


Accordingly , once set up , I give a ride to synchro the Tire pressure system (set onto Winter mode)

BUT ... on highway @ 140 and a little bumpy track , I start to hear a "Left" Crackling noise ... not every bumps , not all the time .. but loud enough to be bothered ....


I then use a Sioux method;
I open the frunk, stand into it , start to jump to lower the car and using the suspensions
I open the trunk, & do the same ....


Tada ... no more noises :CWL::cool:

If it helps .... try it before to go to the dealer where you 'll loose a lot of time and patience

I assume your neighbours think you're crazy and won't come near your house!

If you have air suspension did you remember to disable it in the PCM before changing the wheels?
