Installation Notes and Tips

Install in the front rearward suspension position only on confirmed Porsche 911, Boxster, or Cayman applications. Verify vehicle year, chassis, and suspension configuration before ordering.

Because this control arm is supplied with bearing(s), inspect adjacent suspension parts such as tie rod ends, stabilizer bar links, and brake hose routing during service on Porsche front suspension assemblies.
