Why does my Porsche Panamera make a clunking noise?
When you make a sharp turn with the front wheels turn at full angle, the suspension sounds like it’s about to just fall out? It seems that a lot of Porsche Panameras out there experience front end noises in cold weather climates. Even cars with 20K miles experienced same symptoms.
Is it a common issue for a Panamera?
Yes, it is a common issue for a Panamera at every dealership and they are aware of these manufacturing defects. Usually dealers go through multiple trial and error steps (i.e., change the bushings, change the control arms, adjust the sway bar, etc), in order to nail down the issue or at least get it to be where it’s not as noticeable.
What should my Porsche Panamera make when going over speed bumps?
All your noises: creak/groan over speed bumps and a dull, hollow, clunk/thud when going over bumps at speed should be all gone now. If dealer cant help you and doesnt want to replace these parts – just call PCNA (Porsche of North America)
Can you replace the bushings on a Porsche Panamera?
Somehow original Porsche “bushings” are very weak and should be replaced with updated parts. Yes, it is a common issue for a Panamera at every dealership and they are aware of these manufacturing defects.

Is there suspension noise in Porsche Pan Turbo?
Update June 2016. Still have Pan Turbo – now with 86k on clock but low and behold the suspension noise is now there but wasn’t two years ago, when I last posted. Local PCC has stated has had Pan Turbos in with same noise problem.
