Front Axle

Front Axle







Similar to the previous Boxster (986) models, the front axle consists of a strut suspension with longitudinal and transverse control arms. This concept ensures very precise wheel guidance in combination with a high degree of rolling comfort.

Some components of the front axle have been redeveloped to take account of the increased performance and to further increase crash safety. As part of this redevelopment, the track of the front axle has been increased by 24 mm on the Boxster S (987) (between 24 and 35mm on the Boxster depending on optional wheels selection) in comparison with the previous Boxster (986) models. This measure, together with the larger and wider tires, helps to further reduce the tendency of the body to tilt, particularly when the vehicle's performance is exploited to the fullest, thereby improving support against transverse forces.
