Adjustable Toe Control Arms

[clueless1]

I know that these are available to purchase (eg on ebay). I cannot find any part on the car that Porsche call a toe control arm.

What OEM part name or # does the toe control arm replace?

Is this a replacement for the "rear control arm lower -- track rod"? Thanks.

Has anybody done this replacement themselves?

Yes, it is what Porsche calls a "track rod", although toe control arm is a more accurate description. OEM part # is 996 331 045 06 (also 07 & 12 depending on year/model).

Has anybody installed these? DIY instructions / pictures?

I have a number of questions. Do I need / what should I use for seals/boots on the ball joint end (that attaches to hub carrier)? What are the holes in the top of the screw (which also seem to act as a stop for the top nut) there for???? Anything else I need to know?

Thanks

I've got a set of the Porsche Motorsport adjustable RSR toe arms, with bump steer adjustability. They don't have the end hardware though (that goes through the outer monoball joint).

I am verrrry frustrated.

Gave up on the boots/seals....figured I would see what was on the OEM and then figure out what to do. So I set about trying to remove the OEM rear lower control arm. There is a blt and a nut on the suspension side. The nut came off fine.

The bolt spins, but it is not budging. It goes through some sort of ?washer? that seems to be turning with it.

Sorry if I sound cognitively challenged, but HAS ANYBODY REMOVED THIS PART???? I am completely out of commission right now because I cannot remove this damn bolt or figure out how the heck to do so.
