WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Tie rod joints -58- are replaced with the steering gear removed -90- . To loosen and tighten the tie rod joint -58- , the steering gear -90- must still be secured to the front-axle cross member → Front-axle cross member (to support the loosening torque).
Alternatively (to support the loosening and tightening torque), the steering gear -90- can also be secured to a suitable retainer plate.
To remove and install the power-steering gear -90- , lower the front-axle cross member → Front-axle cross member slightly at the front (approx. 50 to 60 mm). This is necessary in order to make room in this area.
