Check the wheel hubs for free play by pulling/pushing on the wheel from the top/bottom, side to side (9/3 o'clock positions) and in/out. There shouldn't be any free play or clunking.

Visually inspect the rear axle and CV joint covers for wear, tears, or other damage. If damaged, water and dirt will get into the CV joint and cause problems.

Check all of the suspension mounts and bushings for play or wear. Check the suspension bolts for tightness.

The Boxster has a transaxle where the differential is integrated into the transmission. Thus, only the transmission oil requires service.
