Tie rod boots
 
I need help trying to understand which tie rod boots I need for an 02 base.
It seems that they are dependent on the steering rack number. I called Porsche and was told that the current steering rack # is 996 347 011

But it started with the # 996 347 005

Then has been updated from that to 996 347 006
Then 996 347 007
Then 996 347 010

And is currently 996 347 011

From what I can discern from the catalog, the only difference in steering rack #’s is for right hand or left hand drive.
But I may be wrong.
It’s time for a suspension refresh and I am not sure what set of boots I need to get.
As always, thanks for the help.

996-347-191-02 is correct for both sides on a 2002 base Boxster, about $31 each at retail.

Tried to post a link to this part in Porsche's parts system, but the site owners blocked the link, so here is the info:

Home 2002 Porsche Boxster Steering Gear & Linkage 996-347-191-02
