    I have a 1999 Boxster and I am going to try changing all four. The trunk and the engine compartment. Thanks for the video!

      You're welcome! It's really easy as you can see. It's about time for the change based on the year of your car.

    Thanks for the help, BTB. Took less than 10 minutes to replace both front struts. Now I can put my putter back in the bag. =)

    Just found this on a google search. Having same problem on my 911 (2006 997), and pulling the part off, it looks *exactly* the same! Gonna try my luck with your part (seems they have many parts in common). Thanx so much for this! Was getting tired of the thing trying to 'eat' me every time Im in the trunk. :D

    Great instructional thank you! My hood came down on my head lol. It’s cool that the hood and boot should spring up at a certain point. I guess my 98 Box has needed them since before I bought it.

    Thanks for making this informative video. Just followed it to replace the hood struts on my boxster. Your were right - easy and should have done this several years ago.

      Seems about the time for the struts to go for late Boxsters. =D

    Thanks for your video. I successfully changed the front struts on my 2001 Boxster following your instructions. Also as you stated the paper instructions that came with the struts are incorrect.

    • @BeatTheBush
      @BeatTheBush  7 років тому

      I didn't really know. Usually, I just buy the part and 'figure it out' later.

      @BeatTheBush  7 років тому

      Susan Velez Depends on where it was bought from. Some stores are more strict while Best Buy will let you return it even if its opened.

      @bu5761 7 років тому +1
