Installing Anti-Roll Bar

The 911 GT2 (997) anti-roll bar can be installed on the 911 GT3 and GT3 RS (997) (different diameters).

Anti-roll bar diameter (installed as standard): 911 GT3/GT3 RS = 23.6 x 3.5 mm (0.93 x 0.14 inches)/911 GT2 = 25.2 x 4.4 mm (0.99 x 0.17 inches).

1. Install rear anti-roll bar.

   Always tighten the connecting links (suspension/stabilizers) in three steps (Step 1: tighten to 50 Nm (37 ftlb.). Step 2: loosen by 90 degrees. Step 3: tighten to 65 Nm (48 ftlb.))!
