Top Push Rod Ball Joint for Porsche 986 987 Boxster
This is a set of two top push rod ball joints for the convertible top mechanism, designed as repair components for Porsche 986 and 987 Boxster models. These ball joints connect the push rods to the convertible frame, allowing smooth articulation during top operation.
Overview
This set of two top push rod ball joints repairs the linkage in the convertible top system for Porsche 986 and 987 Boxster vehicles. They are used to replace a worn or broken ball joint that connects the top push rod to the convertible frame, which is a common failure point on these models. Using these ball joints restores smooth and dependable top operation, preventing rattles and misalignment.

Good To Know
Q: What does a top push rod ball joint do? A: It connects the push rod to the convertible top frame, allowing the rod to pivot as the roof folds. Without it, the top can bind or break other components in the linkage.
Q: Should I replace both ball joints at the same time? A: Yes, this set includes two, and replacing both prevents the other from failing soon after, saving you a second repair. It is a common practice when the convertible top mechanism is already being serviced.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
