Spring strut locking devices: General
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Spring strut locking devices are fitted on the front axle of new Row vehicles with option M 030 (sport-type running gear) for the protection of the vehicle during transport (for example, truck transport while loading and unloading). They increase the ground clearance of the vehicle.
The spring-strut locking devices are yellow. As the shock absorber tubes are painted black, the yellow spring strut locking devices are clearly visible. This substantially reduces the likelihood of their being overlooked and therefore not removed.
It is not necessary to return the removed spring strut locking devices to Porsche.
