WM 449503 Suspension Alignment, Complete (CAYMAN "Black/Style Edition", BOXSTER "Black/Style Edition", CAYMAN Gt4): Information

Information 

The procedure for performing suspension alignment on the Cayman GT4 is similar or often identical to the procedure used on the Cayman.

The differences are as follows: 

• Adjustment values (vehicle height and wheel alignment values)  .
• The vehicle height of the Cayman GT4 can be adjusted at the front and rear axle by means of the adjusting nut(s) on the corresponding spring strut or struts  .
• Max. wheel-load difference left and right on front axle less than 15 kg and on rear axle less than 10 kg. Target: rear axle: max. 10 kg/front axle: max. 5 kg  .
• For the measured-value pickups, electronic wheel alignment testers require spoiler adapters of 50 mm and 100 mm in length, depending on the wheel alignment tester. This is the only way of facilitating the transfer of data from the right side to the left. Follow the operating instructions of the measuring equipment manufacturer! 
• Front-axle camber setting: Unlike the Cayman, a basic camber adjustment is made by means of intermediate plates -arrow- on the 2-part wishbone of the front axle on the Cayman GT4. Camber adjustment (fine adjustment) is carried out at the spring-strut mount in the same way as for the Cayman  .

• Rear-axle camber setting: The basic setting is also made using intermediate plates on the trailing arm. The camber setting (fine adjustment) is made via the camber eccentric -2-
