Rear ball joints? I’ve worked on more Boxsters than I can count and have never replaced one due to wear. Maybe boots are torn?

The axles are unfortunate. Many guys aren’t willing to stand behind their work rebuilding these and for sure re-booting front axles is foolhardy because they are under more stress and might come back “clicking.” I would do boots on a rear axle for the type of tear you describe but with additional labor it comes close, especially if it’s not a manual trans. I’m not sure if we would warranty it for the same amount of time though.

Another issue that affects even low mile Boxsters are noisy rear wheel bearings, so maybe you got lucky there..

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.
