Nice, but unfortunately also
wrong. All Boxsters up to 1999 are dual rows, 2000-2001 are a total crap shoot and have to be pulled apart to determine which bearing is in them. 2002-2004 are all single rows. 2005 starts another crap shoot year where it can either be a single row, or the oversized non serviceable version. Again, the only way to know is to pull the car apart and look. 2006-2008 are all the non serviceable units.
This list has been published over and over again, but those of us that actually retrofit these cars for a living have seen it be wrong often enough to ignore it.......
