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.
- If sliding piece No. 1 was pulled off steering shaft No. 4, notch No. 2 must point to the tooth gap (No. 3) on assembly.
- If the steering wheel was not fixed before the steering gear was removed, the position of the contact unit (spiral spring) may no longer be correct.
In this event, remove steering wheel and move contact unit to center position.
If this is not done, the spiral spring may be damaged.
Center position: First move contact unit against the end stop. Turn contact unit two revolutions back from the end stop and then continue turning as far as the center position mark.
The exact center position is indicated by the two arrows (No. 1).
Turn front wheels to straight-ahead position before fitting the steering wheel (steering shaft mounted on steering gear).
- 1 = Center position mark (arrows)
- 2 = Drivers that engage in the steering wheel
- 3 = Locking (securing against turning), which becomes effective after removal of the steering wheel.
