Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm working on a personal project which uses a 996 / Boxster suspension. Time to replace the wheel bearings. I ordered a set for a base 996 / Boxster and started with the rear. The parts at least for the rear don't fit. My hub bearings are larger at least in diameter than the ones I bough. I see the 4s have a different part number and ASSUME they are the ones I need. My OD is approx. 3.25" and the base ones I have are approx. 2.95". What do you all think ??

POST 2Original post

Not all 996 and Boxster suspensions are the same. The six speed "S" Boxster used the larger 996 rear carrier hubs, different axles, and completely different brakes. You need to know if the suspension units you have came out of a base (five speed) or S (six speed) car to match up the bearings.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The part number I just looked at saya a 4s. So maybe that's what I have and need ?
