Further To 2A: Measuring Radial Force Variations

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Porsche Cayenne, 2013 Porsche Cayenne, 2012 Porsche Cayenne, and 2011 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Tension wheel on balancing machine with radial force variation measurement (vibration monitoring system).

Observe the operating instructions of the balancing machine (adjust the machine from time to time).

The contact surfaces of the wheel on the balancing flange (levelling surface) and the centring surface must be clean.

The display disabling function must be switched off.

Adjust tire pressure to 2.6 bar (best test pressure) when balancing and measuring radial force variations.

Particular attention must be paid to the wheel mounting when measuring radial force variations and when balancing. Using the special pressure pieces provided by the manufacturer of the balancing machine will ensure that wheels are balanced accurately and there is the highest possible repeat accuracy. Observe the operating instructions.

Maximum deviations permitted in radial force variation results:

Panamera/Panamera S/Panamera Turbo
Radial force variation (peak-to-peak vibrations)	170 N
1st Harmonic (variation)	110 N

If these values are exceeded, the tire must be matched on the rim.

If these values are not reached, the wheel must be balanced.

Information

Mount a new tire if the radial force variation cannot be reduced to the values listed in the table.
