Thanks everybody for your help, It looks like I`ll have to replace those control arms, however I took a look at the part number in my car which is 986.331.143.0, and I cant find the piece under that number in the PET, they appear with a different number in the catalog. My car is an 02 Boxster S. Would anybody know the correct number.
Also I have the same noises coming form the front suspension. Would it be the same control arm problem?
Thanks again for your help.

I would have the suspension (and lower control arms) inspected by a good alignment shop - one that know a good part from bad one. Sorry, but not all dealers fall into that category - so a really good alignment shop. If you were in the San Francisco bay area I would recommend Custom Alignment. Since they work on a lot of race cars they down a weakened or worn out part from a good one.
Hi everybody, hi Loren,
I`m new to the forum and also to the Boxster, I got a 2002 Boxster S with 34Kmiles on it just a couple of weks ago and with the exception of dirt all around, I have just one problem and I`m not sure if it is the same problem I`ve been reading in this thread. I have Rattle noises coming from under the car(both front and rear suspension areas), but not metalic, more like plastic noises from the underbody panels, so far I have replaced loose clamps and nuts whith new ones, how ever the front panel is broken and missing a piece from the right side and the entire rear panel is missing. Could this be the source of the problem?. I dont wnat to spend a lot of money in control arms replacement just to find out it was just the panels. Thanks in advance for your help.
912 Front Suspension
in 911, 912 Series

Hi,
I hope someone can help me. I`m currently restoring a 67 912, so far engine, clutch, transmision and electric system are all rebuild and working fine, I also changed all four shocks and all suspension bushings and here is where the problem lies. When we first finish the suspension, there were some noises and rattles so everything was retighten and the car was taken to a four wheel laser allignment shop. How ever the front of the car feels somehow loose in the front when dirving straight at 70 mph and when taking curves at arround 60 mph, there is like a lack of weight in the front. Could this be the torsion bars that I didnt change?.
Thanks in advance for your help.
