Morning,

The front and rear coffin arms/wishbones have different part numbers, are they different sizes or are they both the same?

The reason I ask is I have seen a full set for sale which states they fit front/rear and left/right

TIA
 
I had a look at the Wishbones installed in my 06 Carrera. All of them have the same part number engraved. I think, this number just refers to the aluminium part of it. The difference between front/rear are the mounted bushes.
You can see it on some photos posted on the internet. One of them has round holes, the other one looks like a keyhole.

Porsche sells different parts for front/rear. Also Meyle lists different parts. Both have also differences for Coupe/Cabrio/Targa.

Only cheap sources recommend to use one part for all three corners. I guess they will work as the overal geometry is the same. But they might lead to less comfort or durability.
