Track rods replacement
Hello all, this forum has been a great source of info. I have actually completed a few "basic" repairs/maintenance items using the info here - thanks to everyone who has posted. I have a 97 Boxster, original owner, immaculate but its 15 years old and the heat and humidity of Texas doesn't help things out. Have already replaced struts/coils and several other rubber items. I am having the spark plugs replaced and leaning towards also doing the ignition coils - no added labor but the coils cost $500+. I alsohave the front and rear track rods and bushings need replacement - about $2,600 from the dealer, almost $2,000 in parts. I usually avoid the dealer but I figured I needed some major wotrk done and also wanted them to thoroughly check out the car. I have known the service manager since I first bt the car and trust him. It seems like I could save big $ buying aftermarket parts, although not sure the dealership will install for me. I plan to keep the car for the foreseeable future. I plan to discuss with the service mgr but thought I would seek some input since many of you are very knowledgeable and experienced with Boxster and repairs. Thanks.
