WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Porsche Macan, 2023 Porsche Macan, 2022 Porsche Macan, 2021 Porsche Macan, and 2020 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Preloaded or pressurised components
- Risk of squashing or bruising
→ Do not reach into the danger area.
→ Relieve tension on components before starting work.
→ Secure components to prevent them from loosening suddenly.
Information
If the coil spring is replaced: Always replace coil springs in pairs only!
Information
During installation, make sure that the ends of the spring are touching the limit stops of the spring plate in the spring-strut mount (PASM)/mounting saddle (conventional) and in the lower concave support (permissible gap dimension: 2 mm).
- Installation is performed in reverse order. Pay particular attention to the following:
- 1.1 Tightening torque for mounting saddle to piston rod (conventional):
> Tightening - torque 50 Nm (37 ftlb.)
- 1.2 Tightening torque for spring-strut mount to piston rod (PASM):
> Tightening - torque 50 Nm (37 ftlb.)
- 1.1 Tightening torque for mounting saddle to piston rod (conventional):
