Vehicle Height Gt2 - Porsche 996 TT Repair Manual

Vehicle height GT2

The vehicle height on the front and rear axle of the 911 GT2 can be adjusted. Before wheel alignment values
are adjusted at front and rear axles, it is recommended or necessary that the height adjustment be checked at
the DIN empty weight. The height adjustment possibility allows the wheel−load difference from right to left
to be kept as small as possible, provided that wheel load weighing machines are available. The wheel−load
difference is adjusted by changing the vehicle height within the height tolerance. The priority is to achieve the
smallest possible wheel−load difference from left to right.
The height adjustment possibility allows:
• Differing wheel loads on left and right to be corrected. At the correct height the wheel−load
differences lie within a permissible range, provided that the coil springs have the same installation
position (installed spring preload) on each axle. Tolerance 1 mm. Wheel−load differences can be kept
as low as possible in conjunction with wheel−load weighing machines. Tolerance from right to left on
front and rear axle under 15 kg.
• Any impermissible height differences
permissible tolerance).
For the height check of the ready−to−drive vehicle (full tank and tools), place the vehicle on a level
surface or on the measuring platform.
