►If your Porsche 911 997 begins feeling unstable in the rear, there’s a good chance that your rear control arm bushings are worn out and need replacement. To make replacing the rear 997 suspension bushings a more straightforward task, Porsche designed the control arms to be complete units that you easily swap in without having to use a press tool on any bushings.
In this DIY, Michael Hidalgo, FCP Euro’s master DIY mechanic, walks us through the step-by-step of how to replace all three of the rear control arms on the Porsche 997 911.

What a pain
Another one in the books…
This dude is the best!
Can anyone share their experience regarding long term reliability of the Meyle Porsche control arms?
Wow, Great step by step… thanks for the details
Great video I did this on a 996 and it certainly looks like Porsche have made access to the bolts /nuts a bit easier on the 997 which hopefully will make it less hassle when my 997 needs a suspension refresh.
Mike’s videos are always excellent.
