Installing Front Wheel Bearing Housing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2012 Porsche Cayman, 2012 Porsche Boxster, 2011 Porsche Cayman, 2011 Porsche Boxster, and 2010 Porsche Cayman. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Information

If assembly work was performed or parts replaced that affect the vehicle height, a complete wheel alignment is necessary.

Install in reverse order. Before installing, do a visual check on the parts. Replace brake calliper fastening screws.
The sensor for the range adjustment does not need to be calibrated.
Do not grease screwed connections in Dacromet finish - aluminum color. Observe correct tightening torques → 4001TW TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR FRONT AXLE .
Place the spring-strut/wheel-carrier assembly into the vehicle. Note installation position of the spring-strut mount. The arrow markings must point to the outer side of the vehicle. The shock-absorber piston rod is thereby shifted outwards. Use new lock nuts. Before tightening the lock nuts, align spring-strut mount in accordance with the applied marking (position of the three collar nuts).
