Suspension Alignment, Complete: Notes
There are few differences between suspension alignment on the new 911 Turbo (996) and suspension alignment procedures on the 911 Carrera (996). This involves the vehicle height adjustment, the wheel-load difference from left to right, special tools and corrections to wheel alignment.
Modified quick-clamping holders are required for the 911 Turbo (996) (to fasten the measured-value pickups on the wheels). The quick-clamping holders present can be retrofitted by replacing the clamping units on the left and right. Supplier: Messrs. Beissbarth. These converted quick-clamping holders can also be used retroactively for the other Porsche models.
NOTE:
- Observe the changed tightening torque when using the insert (tool -A-). See Fig 1.
