This complete front lower wishbone kit for the Porsche 970.1 Panamera provides a full solution for worn or failing lower suspension arms. The kit includes:

• 2 x front lower wishbones (left and right)
• 6 x new mounting bolts
• 8 x new mounting nuts

Engineered for precise fitment and durability, this kit restores proper front suspension geometry, steering accuracy and ride stability.

What Front Lower Wishbones Do

Front lower wishbones, also known as lower control arms, are critical suspension components that connect the wheel hub assembly to the vehicle chassis. They allow controlled vertical wheel movement while maintaining correct alignment and geometry.

On the Porsche Panamera 970.1, the lower wishbones help to:

• Maintain correct camber and caster angles
• Control wheel movement over uneven surfaces
• Support braking stability
• Provide accurate steering response
• Reduce vibration and road harshness

Integrated bushes and ball joints within the wishbone absorb load and allow smooth articulation during driving.

Why Lower Wishbones Fail

Over time, lower wishbones are exposed to:

• Constant suspension movement
• Heavy vehicle weight
• Road impacts and potholes
• Heat and environmental contamination
• Rubber bush degradation

As the bushes crack or soften and ball joints wear, suspension geometry becomes unstable.

Common symptoms of worn front lower wishbones include:

• Knocking or clunking noises over bumps
• Steering vibration Uneven or rapid tyre wear
• Pulling to one side under braking
• Reduced handling precision MOT advisories or failures

Mounting bolts and nuts can also stretch or corrode over time. Reusing old hardware can compromise clamping force and safety.

Why You May Need a Complete Wishbone and Hardware Kit

Replacing both lower wishbones together ensures balanced suspension performance across the front axle. Installing new mounting bolts and nuts guarantees correct torque specification and secure installation.

This complete kit is ideal for:

• High mileage Porsche 970.1 Panamera models
• Vehicles with front-end knocking or instability
• Suspension rebuild or refresh projects
• Wheel alignment correction
• Preventative maintenance before tyre replacement

Replacing worn lower control arms restores the driving precision expected from a Porsche luxury performance saloon.
