Weltmeister has produced several aftermarket solutions to Porsche suspensions for many years.  This bushing kit is a replacement for the original equipment rubber, and also the second generation of material used for such.  The first, Poly-Graphite, proved too brittle for the type of forces applied to the front control arms.  This new material, manufactured with poly-preservatives, is much stiffer than stock but still pliable enough not to erode from the extremes of daily use.

While this article deals specifically with the early model's steel arms, Weltmeister bushing replacements are also available for the front portion of the aluminum control arms.  This is a particularly useful item to late models as the only way to replace the front bushing is to purchase a new or rebuilt control arm - the original bushings are

Disconnect Stabilizer:  The stabilizer should be set to the loaded position before attempting to remove the end-link/drop-links.  To accomplish this, use two jacks to lift the arms equally - or, do one side using a single jack, then the other. This illustration shows a modified steel arm using a late model drop-link.  Most steel arms will use the older bushing clamp secured from the bottom.

It is highly recommended that you replace the lock nuts (crimp style) with new when replacing the front bushings.  With the decreased ability to properly torque the crossmember bolts, this will add some security that the nuts will not work loose.
