Bad Front Strut Bearings
Broke Boxster S owner replied to Broke Boxster S owner's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thank you very much!! -
Hello all!! Quick question in regaurds to the strut bearings. I need to replace the front bearings on my 01 Boxster S due to a annoying binding sound evey time I turn the wheel. Can I just buy the bearings for $20 (x2 for both sides) at Sunset, or should i replace the the strut mounts on both sides as well (mounts $52 a piece)? This has to due with the preventative maintenace... rather now than later. How often do the mounts fail, and is it worth the money? You guys are the best! BBSO

Thank you sooo much for the speedy responses!! I will sleep a little better tonight. The parts quote, was that from the "sunset" link on this page? I would like to Purchase the parts online and bring them to the Mech. to install, ie:pads, rotors,and AOS. Thanks again, and this is the best forum on the web! -
Hello I am very green to this... so here go's I purchased a used 01' Boxster S with 42,000 on it. I took it to the local dealership who suggested I do the 2 year service oil, brakes, and once over. When I recived "The call" later that day the service manager explained to me the cost to repair the car ala carte would be $8,000, ouch! I need some serious advice, so here is a list of the damage. I need to know if i can buy aftermarket parts and where, what to look for in a non-porsche mech., and last but not least do I atempt any of this my self? 1)Front Brakes 2)Front Strut Bearings 3)Oil seperator & Oil fill tube small leaks 4)Cam cover seal small leak 5)Head Gaskets on Bank #1 slight leak 6)water pump has crossion (no leak yet) with tension roller & idlers. Their is no spots on my gradge floor yet & no burning smells coming from the car. When i asked what is the most imporant thing to fix first the dealer said the brakes, but my brakes light is not on yet(?). I undestand he has a family to feed... but $8,000 bucks? HELP This is my everyday driver!
