Assembly - Porsche 996 TT Repair Manual

• If the coil springs are exchanged, it might be necessary to use a different spring plate than before!

The following spring plates (compensation parts) are available:
1 white line = 3.0 mm thick compensation part
1 green line = 6.5 mm thick compensation part
2. Complete mount −4A− , back−up ring −4− and spring plate −5− (compensation part).

Assembly

CAUTION
Danger of injury due to spring tensioning!
• Never use an impact bolter to loosen or tighten the fastening nut!
• Use commercially available changeover ratchet!
If the vibration damper has been replaced or the spring seat loosened, align the appropriate spring
seat in the centre before tightening. The spring seat fastening screw must be installed in the
direction of travel when doing this.
Note
• Space constraints and the position of the stabilizer mount are decisive factors. The stabilizer mount
must be free of tension at complete right and left stops (ball heads still movable)!
• After the spring strut is installed, the position of the spring seat must be checked again and may need
minor adjustment!
