PSS9 install question - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Hey guys,
Busy day for me:

I'm assembling the PSS9's and noted the instructions for the front camber plates call for re-using the upper spring hat/thrust arm bearing from the factory strut. Unfortunately, I sold the factory struts to a friend already not knowing I needed to re-use these.

Is there an aftermarket option for this part? If not, does anyone know a part number or where I can source these? I didn't see them on Pelican but perhaps wasn't searching the right term.

Thanks!

I think maybe I found the parts I need - can anyone confirm?

Ping Woody, username itsnotanova, he can set you up with what you need, otherwise those washers are freakishly expensive... I can't see your links on my phone but he will know what you need.

Be careful with those poly bushed banana arms. A guy here in the UK had an arm fail due to those bushes. They don't offer enough articulation or are too stiff.
