[s-cars] Driveline chatter

[Serge Filanovsky]

Sean,
I'm coming into this thread late, and not quite sure how it got started
either. I am 99.9% certain of your problem. Your front prop-shaft CV joint
is dry. I had your exact symptoms. You may want to service this sooner
rather than later. You may be able to get some grease in there, though I'm
told this is not easy.

I had mine done by a local mechanic, who was able to get a spare CV joint,
which I believe to be Porsche part number: 92333203200 (from an old post by
Gabriel Caldwell). 

The alternative is a whole new prop-shaft, which is north of $1K at the
dealer.
