If you have a Meyle part number that doesn't seem to show up anywhere, call (or chat, which I did) to FCP Euro, Meyle is distributed through Worldpac and FCP is one of their distributors. I just ordered a pair of Meyle 416 050 0004 front control caster arms (the arm that is impossible to find). They weren't on their site, but they were able to send me a link that let me order them.

Here is the interesting thing: Meyle gives 3 Porsche part numbers that cross reference to that part:
996 341 043 03
996 341 043 06
997 331 043 01 - this is the rear caster control arm for 997, not listed anywhere as compatible with 986 front

It has the following EAN: 4040074162538

I ordered a pair and if they get here and it is the right one, we will finally have an alternative to the EPS urethane bearing version and these other no-name brands.
