OE Match rear axle drive shaft (CV axle) assemblies designed to match the original Porsche specifications for fit, durability, and drivetrain performance. They serve as direct replacement rear drive shafts on Porsche 987 chassis vehicles.
Fits:
Cars with 5 Speed Manual transmission
Porsche 987.1 Boxster 2.7ltr - 2005 to 2008
Porsche 987.1 Cayman 2.7ltr - 2006 to 2008

These components are complete constant velocity (CV) axle assemblies that transfer rotational power from the differential to the rear wheels while accommodating suspension movement. Each assembly includes pre-installed CV joints and protective boots, ready for direct installation.
These rear drive shafts transmit engine torque from the differential to the rear wheels, enabling forward and reverse motion. Their constant-velocity joints allow smooth power delivery through suspension travel and varying steering angles. Properly matched axles help maintain balanced torque distribution and stable handling; when worn, symptoms such as vibration, clunking noises, or uneven acceleration can occur.
CV axle assemblies endure torque loads and constant movement, and over time CV joints can wear, boots can split, and grease can leak. A failing axle may lead to clicking or popping sounds during cornering, vibration under acceleration, grease contamination, or clunking. Replacing worn axles with OE Match quality units restores correct drivetrain operation, smooth acceleration, and predictable handling.
Consider replacement if you notice any of the following:
• Clicking/popping when turning
• Vibrations at speed or under load
• Torn or leaking CV boots
• Clunking or inconsistent power delivery

OEMatch Driveshafts & Parts — Fit, Function, Confidence
OEMatch supplies driveshafts and related parts for Porsche models, cataloguing thousands of part numbers and OE cross-references to support maintenance and restoration. Suitable for classic and modern Porsche applications, these components are selected for correct mounting and compatibility. Many owners search for genuine or OEM driveshafts; these are direct-fit alternatives designed to match the original form, fit and function.
Available Types- Complete driveshaft assemblies
- Universal (U) joints and CV joints
- Driveshaft couplings and flanges
- Boots, seals and retaining hardware
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original driveshafts and parts.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the driveshafts and parts and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM driveshafts and parts engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Driveshafts transfer torque from the gearbox or differential to the driven wheels while allowing for suspension movement and alignment changes. Balance and correct joint operation are essential to avoid vibration and preserve gearbox and differential bearings in Porsche drivetrains. Components such as CV joints, universal joints, boots and couplings all contribute to smooth power delivery and long service life.
Benefits Include- Restores smooth, vibration-free torque transfer
- Reduces noise and driveline shudder under load
- Helps prevent secondary gearbox and differential damage
- Wear to CV or universal joints from mileage and load
- Torn boots allowing grease loss and contamination
- Corrosion or impact damage to the shaft or flanges
- Imbalance from worn bearings, misalignment or damaged couplings
Replacing worn driveshafts or their components restores balance and reliable torque delivery, improving refinement and vehicle control for Porsche models. Scheduled inspection of joints, boots and couplings during clutch or transmission service helps avoid secondary failures. Many owners search for genuine or OEM driveshafts; these are direct-fit alternatives designed to match the original form, fit and function.
Advantages- Available as complete assemblies or individual service parts for targeted repair
- Made to original-spec dimensions to aid correct alignment and balance
- Includes the fixings and seals needed to complete a repair
