I just did a 4 boot replacement on mine. The Boots are 928 boots....like it or not.
I got 4 of them for 12 bucks a piece....
I had the bearing grease and I reused the clamps....There were 2 types..one was easier than the other to disassemble and reassemble..

You dont have to disassemble the suspension to get the shafts out, just the bottom supports. I didnt even have to take out the exhaust like some people said you have to do on the drivers side. You will need a bearing puller to get the shaft from the wheel.

You disassemble one end of the shaft and slip them on....Its not hard at all...just a little messy...

BUT....the boots are the same from a 928...I complained about putting 928 parts on my 986.

All in all it was an easy job.
