Boxstard,
I must say after writing my post I went down to a non Porsche standard parts supplier as they showed they had bearings in stock, amazing.
The brand is a licenced Australian maker here, MKA.
I bought two and installed on rears after removing the FAG ones.

No more Wobble on either rear side !
That's without the axles installed and nut torqued.
They WERE very wobbly before...

That's amazing yours was missing a ball. !

I'm off to another branch of same store to get two more for the front.
I guess I just dump the four FAG ones.

The MKA's look really well machined and are fully packed with a black grease, as opposed to the meagre white grease in FAG.

I think I just did an advert for MKA bearings Australia.
Repco the great Australian Auto parts company that stocks them.

My FAG bearings were spinning between inner sides of race and hub.
The MKA's needed pulling on even after hub was in freezer.

Yeah peace of mind is a lot.
Well done all, especially Boxstard.!

2001 Boxster 986.
