Morning All,

I replaced my brake pipes at the weekend and while I was under the car I noticed that I had a splt CV boot (N/S outer).

Porsche have quoted the best part of £160 for the pair of boots inc. clips and greae which seems a tad steep to me.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good quality alternative please?

I've had a quick google but I'm struggling to find someone who can supply inner and outer for a 2003 3.2 S manual...or more likely, I'm just being a bit thick :mrgreen:
 
I got mine from carparts4less and with a discount code it was under £35 delivered for all 4 and I have to say they are really good quality. Nice and thick - not like the usual eBay universal rubbish. Come complete with the metal end cover, the proper clips and the grease. Did mine yesterday.
 
That's very useful, thanks for the reply :thumb:

Hopefully I won't have to chase them for a month, like I did for my springs and wiper blades!!

ETA: It seems something changed after 2002 ("CV boot kit inner and outer up to 2002, but only outer for 2003-2004 model years") so hopefully the GKN kit they list for the inners includes the same parts...
 
Good point actually. Mine is a 2000 so inner and outers are the same. It was however the GKN ones I used and the quality is great and they arrived in 2 days.
 
Would anyone be able to shed some light on the changes pre/post-2002, specifically regarding the driveshafts/CV joints and ideally which other model the later part may be shared with?

I can't believe that the later Boxster S has model-specific drvieshafts/CV joints and doesn't utilise the same part as a 996 of some variation?

ETA: This https://www.design911.com/Porsche-986-Boxster-Drive-Shaft-98633202450--98633202453/prod3511/ would suggest that the driveshafts are the same for year 2000 onwards cars, which adds confusion...
