My front axle is going bad on both side and my front diff is going out and it having a lot of vibration can I convert my car to 2 wheel drive I don't road course Imy car only Highway pull
Yes, I have the front axle stubs available for sale if you'd like to do this conversion. I attempted it a while back. Worked great on the street and straight intersection racing, even u-turn power slides, but the electronics went haywire when tracking (road course). It did not like heavy G loads or when the car got "light" (wheel/wheels leaving the ground).

If those have Porsche part #s are they actually used and designed by Porsche for 4wd to 2wd conversion?
i thought these cars did not as easily convert as the 996's?
I used to think so, too, but I'm almost positive I've read that the only real issues pop up on 997 Turbos if you try to take out the front diff/axles, and people have said that simply disconnecting the drive shafts works great.
One of things I have read is that if you do this, you should look at your diff and consider a LSD, otherwise you may be disappointed with how the vehicle applies power when one wheel slips since there are only 2 drive wheels after this change.
The front hub spindles in the link you provided are for 996 gen vehicles and will not work on a 997.1 or 997.2. Note the image I have posted above are for 997 gen cars.

In the order screen they list an order option for 997.1. Presumably they have another set of hub spindles that work for 997.1. I have no experience with this kit and I'm not endorsing it, just curious if anyone else does.
