Looks like 996.331.261.10 is the same part? Used as late as 2006 997's...

Not sure if there are any relevant upgrades to the newer part number.

Also looks like 99633126105, 99633126106, 99633126107, as well as 99633126110 are all part numbers superseded by the latest 99733126101.

This is a 996..10 part.

Same P# for a tiptronic car?

Will this one fit & how much labor is involved?

So, is this it right behind the new sway bar in this pic?

(not my pic - stole it from another forum)

Anyway, looks like a total of 6 bolts holding it in. Any trickiness involved in swapping it out? I assume it doesn't require an alignment afterward?

Just for clarity, it appears that there are 6 bolts in total. 2 on the bottom that hold the other braces need to be removed, 2 on the horizontal bottom that need to be removed, and 2 on horizontal top that need to be loosened.
Does anyone know if the tires need to be removed to do this so that the suspension hangs at full droop? I was planning on backing the car up on some ramps and having at it...

4 for the brace and 2 for the braces. its easier to take the wheels off and take the weight off the suspension. you have to pry the brace out from the bottom so your lifting the suspension slightly

With No realignment needed?
The bottom of a Mezger engine looks different, with a bolted on steel wedge where that aluminum engine lug is on the NA engine. The wedge aims at the pad on the steel member from the turbo.

All the TT/GT2/GT3 Mezgers have the same steel wedge irrespective of whether the crossmember is aluminum or steel...

ok, wedge was just an observation. My question is if you change the member should you do an alignment?

So it looks like the normally aspirated 996's had the aluminum piece, too, and ONLY the 6TT's had the big stamped steel one?

But the 996 part #'s have been superseded by a 997 part #? I also wonder what the differences are on the 997 part.
