Cayman (987) F6-2.9L (2009)
Information
Only monobloc drive shafts -2- are installed in all Boxster and Cayman vehicles as of model year 2005.
The shaft in monobloc drive shafts -2- is approx. 34 mm in diameter (friction-welded drive shafts -1- = approx. 28 mm in diameter).
Replacing constant-velocity (CV) joints: Only the CV joint at the transmission side is available upon request. Otherwise, the entire shaft must be
replaced.
Before disassembling the drive shaft, always mark the position of the bellows -arrows- for re-installation. This ensures that the bellows will be
re-installed at the correct position. Use a colored pen or fabric tape to mark the position.
