Hello Chaiyz,

agree with Steve Tinker, don't get the cheap axle boots. The OEM ones are from GÖLDO and are the same as in the 928. Also don't put too much grease in - they then burst if you're driving fast. Also check that there is absolutely no grease between the axle and the axle boot when assembling. I paid 30 euros at Porsche for each axle boot. The OEM clamps are special - you need a special crimp tool. Search the forum for additional infos.

Pic shows part number for a 2003 S.

Regards, Markus
