pjdow Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hi I need new anti roll bar bushes, from and rear. The car is a 2002 Boxster S with standard suspension. I am getting conflicting advise as to the size of these. Can anyone confirm the sizes I need, and a recommended make. Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanmr2 Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 I replaced my front and rear anti toll bar bushes and bought them from my local OPC, they were not very expensive and they will obviously sell you the proper size for your car. In my experience it is always worth checking your local Porsche centre for any new parts needed and they usually give you a 10% to 15% discount if you ask 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyP Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Measure them. I recently did this with a cheap vernier guage as I was refreshing my suspension and knew that it wasn't all original. There's an invoice in my car's history for sports suspension, but it's only for about £500, so very unlikely to be M030 stuff. Thought I'd better check. Bought a vernier guage, measured them, ordered bushes accordingly, they fit! Cost me about £20. I wouldn't use fine tune a watch mechanism, but it worked for this.

GmanB Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Would recommend buying from OPC, grab the brackets, nuts and bolts too because the old ones, if never been changed, will likely be perished. Mine were £20 ish for the rear if I recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These can seize, so apply Plus Gas or similar in advance and gently apply torque when removing them. On the front, the M10 are 65Nm and the M12 is 100Nm and the M14 for the front tuning fork is 160Nm. Edited February 19, 2023 by ½cwt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
