Spring strut locking devices
General
Spring-strut locking devices are installed at the
front axle in order to protect new ROW
vehicles with special option M 030 (sport-type
running gear) during transport (e.g. onloading
and offloading from trucks).
The spring-strut locking devices are yellow.
As the reservoir tubes of the shock absorbers
are painted black, the yellow spring-strut
locking devices are clearly visible.
This substantially reduces the likelihood of their
being overlooked and therefore not removed.
It is not necessary to return the removed
spring-strut locking device to Porsche.
Dismantling spring strut locking devices
1. Raise vehicle (wheels must be free).
The wheels need not be removed.
2. Remove spring strut locking devices from all
spring struts. To do this, pull spring strut
locking devices from the springs.
