Installing left drive shaft

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  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.
