Gordons, FCP sells the TRW trailing arm for a reasonable cost

and also the Meyle brand (Germany) for even less.

I had very good experiences with the support from FCP, good luck

The first one, the TRW, is for the back, and although it is the 987 part number it fits the Boxster, I just installed 2 of these.

The 2nd one, the Meyle, although it is listed as the front caster control arm for the newer boxsters, I don't think it is compatible with the 986 Boxster fronts. Meyle does make a part that fits our Boxsters, their part number is 416 050 0004, but it is just getting out there and is not widely available yet. Interestingly, they give 3 equivalent Porsche part numbers for it, matching 986 and also this part number: 997 331 043 01 which is the 997 Porsche rear link (996 used the same as our fronts in front and back, 997 uses the one linked above as the front and the 997 331 043 01 in the back). Since Meyle says it is the same, I wonder if we could use the 997 back TRW part on our fronts, which is still available?

Who wants to be the first to try it out Or read another way, who has the best return policy
