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.
NOTE:
- The rubber dust bellows and bellows on the steering gear and on the tie rods can be damaged by external influences, e.g. stone impact, or during assembly work!
- If a rubber dust bellows leaks, the joint or the tie rod must be replaced, because dirt or moisture entering will destroy the joint!
- Check the play and dust bellows.
- Check the function of the dust bellows, bellows and joints and ensure that they are free of leaks.
