How would urethane be better than a monoball? You want STOCK pieces.. not rebuilt.

and you **WANT** the 987 pieces.. trust me. I gave you the correct part number. You will thank me the first time you drive the car.

TeamOx? You work for Pelican?

there's other posts that indicate that the swaybar drop link may also make rattling noise at low speeds.
I cheaped out and replaced all the drop links. did not solve the problem
replaced the lower control arms and no more noise. went with TRW parts. that was 30K miles ago My car is my daily drive so no heavy driving, and when it comes to suspension/drivetrain parts, I always go with original or oem parts - not a voting contest and an amateur weekend mechanic at best, but I'm aligned with Brad's comments.

It on Renntech. Under Boxster control arm repair



Had this done on the Boxster.
Worked like a charm.

?
Need to order some, sounds like I have a pickup box full of loose lumber on poor pavement and rough dirt road I had to do to pick my son up this afternoon.
I've found the 986 part at a reasonable price but not the 987.
