Installing left drive shaft

  1. Install in reverse order.
  2. Grease the toothing of the drive shaft with Optimoly HT.
  3. Carry out a visual inspection of all parts. Replace self-locking nuts. Use correct tightening torques.
    NOTE: When installing the spring strut and tightening the two control arms, make sure that the spring strut fastening screw (on the wheel carrier ) and the control arm fastening screws are only tightened in vehicle position. Vehicle position means: Vehicle standing on the wheels, or the wheel suspension is being raised with a universal lift.
  4. A calibration of the sensor of the headlight beam adjustment is not necessary.
    NOTE: Only optimized axle nuts - version B - for drive shaft fastening are available from the Parts Service. These two-part fastening nuts (M22) have a moveable washer (arrows). Retrofitting is possible for all 911 Carrera (996) vehicles and for all Boxsters.
