You may know the ball and socket on boxster convertible tops linkage arms are easily broken. My 1997 boxster had both of them broken when I bought it. Since they were the red plastic, I heard Porsche replaced them with a "more durable" white plastic. I wanted to take this to the next level. The dealer price includes the linkage arms and is around $75.00 USD each. I found a pair of stainless steel ball and socket assemblies that fit perfectly and may possibly never break or wear out for around $60.00! For both, and in the USA.
I want to post before and after pictures, but do not know how to do this from the mobile app.
Problem solved, P cars can be economical to maintain.

 

Sounds great, but where did you buy them from?
