What was 996.341.341.05?

Hey all, New the forum so hello there!

Rebuilding a Carrera two and pulling some mangled-a$$ control arms off the front. They are stamped with "996.341.341.05"

When I google this number all I get is european eBay listings and some random russian website. Anybody have any idea what this is? Cheap chinese knockoff control arms?

I have a 99634105316 to replace it which is clearly a slightly different casting but appears dimensionally similar.

I would share a photo but I am in the shop (read- my garage) right now.

Cheers!

I should add that it does not appear in Pelican's catalogue, and a search on this forums netted zero results.

Searching the official Porsche parts PDF also netted zero results!

Exact model and year of your car - please?

And control arm (item 3) or wishbone (item 6)?

I am taking them off a 99 carrera2

It would appear to have this number on all 4 corners.

Porsche actually calls that part wishbone.

996-341-053-16 is the correct part progression as the older parts are no longer sold. It shows a US MSRP of $316.03 each.

makes as much sense as anything. I was just confused since it didn't show up in any of the current catalogs.

Not sure if I should be happy that there are original parts on this car or not! :) They are getting replaced now though.

Thanks Loren!
