How to replace anti-roll bar bushes on a Porsche Boxster 986

The anti roll bar or sway bar bush, as it is also called, is simply a piece of rubber that holds the bar in place. Over time this will wear our so if you hear a knocking from the front or rear of the car it could be that the bushes need replacing.

Great series, really helpful step-by-step approach to your how-to segments. A lot like the older Edd China how-to stuff, but even more detail.

[@RoadandRacetv]

Thanks for the high praise Ian. Edd China was a big inspiration to me so it's kind to be compared to him.

bravo my man! you are a practical and and excellent diy mechanic ;) I can't wait to get my boxster and follow all of your advice :)

What torque do the rear bolts need to be? Also are the bush sizes different on the various 986 models? Thanks!

I think I’m gonna tackle the back ones first as they see easy ...now can you tell me how long did it take for the back ones ? Greetings from Los Angeles

Great video - very helpful - specifically re the threadlock, from what I read, some threadlock material can only be removed by heating the bolt, whuch troubles me a little. Can I ask how you would go about removing your bolts again after you’ve applied the threadlock? And is it really necessary to use threadlock on these bolts?

[@MrThestarshere]

Use blue thread lock not red

Another great and helpful video 👍👍👍👍

Hi, wonderful channel and videos! On your video the front anti-roll bar bushes are between the bar you slide and the frame beam.....but on my Cayman S 987 GEN1 the are actually over the beam and on top of it there is a think bracket....this makes things more complicated but the job can be done without removing the lower tray. Which car in shown in this video?

[@RoadandRacetv]

+TheItalianBrick Thanks for such a kind comment. So glad you like the channel. The car shown is a 2001 Boxster S 986.

[@Jonathan-qz9kd]

Is this the same on a 987? Thanks ❤

[@wildbillcarroll]

That's the kind of bush I used very nice.

[@syedmuradali3553]

To replace the rear bushings, are you required to jack the car up? Or can you elevate the car with a ramp? Thanks.

[@RoadandRacetv]

No need, there's plenty of access at the rear.

[@syedmuradali3553]

Just wasn't sure if this job required taking tension off of the sway bar. I recently changed my rear droplinks and ran into trouble because I did not jack up both sides of the Boxster.

[@RoadandRacetv]

+Syed Murad Ali I can't recall but I don't think so.

[@JohnKaufmann]

Very well done!

[@brianmcaleer3958]

Would that be the same for a 987.1 Boxster ?

[@camski89]

love the videos man, I'll have a boxster s one day 😀

[@RoadandRacetv]

[@camski89]

That micrometer certainly does look like a vernier caliper.
