When that bushing tears or the rubber goes soft you get a clunk over bumps, wandering under braking, uneven tire wear and an alignment that will not hold. Because the bushing is part of the arm on the 996, the usual fix is a new arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplacing the arms in pairs keeps the car balanced side to side. JP Group is a Danish maker of replacement and reproduction parts for classic Porsche and Volkswagen, and its Dansk and SSI lines cover hard-to-find Porsche exhaust and body parts. EMPI is JP Group's US distributor. Washburn's Metal in Orange, California lists each part with its real OE and JP Group reference numbers so you can check it against your car before you order.
