Yes as usual you guys were bang on the money. Front CV which when I
think about it was worn and was probably "locking up" under high
torque and thus making the shaft move around in the hanger bearing.
The Porsche part # is spot on.
My what a stupid place to put the handbrake adjuster! Thought I'd
best do it while I was there.
So thanks all what can I say...
You guys run rings around the rest, four of them I think.
