You can also ask in the Boxster forum; I think those are the same or similar enough shafts.

sounds like same problem I have now. Mind me asking how much you paid for everything? What made you not go with aftermarket ones?

They were about 660.00USD each and yes, OEM parts.

I've also spent around $15k on my 99 over the past 3 years, which is more than the purchase price. I estimate about $3000 was "have to do", including a Bosch alternator and a set of tires. About $2000 was preventive maintenance. The remaining $10k was mods, including Ohlins coilovers, two sets of wheels including 996.2 GT3 wheels, deep sump kit with guard, RSS lower control arms, LED headlight assemblies, etc. I wouldn't have spent that much money on a normal car.

Since cv axle failure seems rare, maybe consider a set of low mile used take offs from ebay or similar? Probably cost you 400 bux and then id reboot and regrease for another 100.
