I spent a few hours separating the rear wheels from the hubs, and I haven't gotten brave enough to take the mallet to the car again, but agreed, something isn't quite right in the front. The Boxster has been in New England since new, and while the body is rust free, the exhaust hardware and wheel hubs have taken serious effort to take apart.
Suspension work on the Boxster can't be worse than the Cayman (rear interior needs to be removed to get to the top of the rear suspension, lots of hidden clips and fragile plastic)! Or can it?
An hour away there is a "car recycler" that delivered the replacement engine, 79k miles and a year warrantee.
The pic is of the Cayman after the post purchase drive from Chicago to Boston.......
