Vehicle height/wheel load

Note
• There are few differences between suspension alignment on the new 911 Turbo and suspension
alignment procedures on the 911 Carrera (996)!
As with the 911 Carrera (996) models, there is no adjustment facility for changing the vehicle height!
•
• This applies to both the front and the rear axles!
• Since the vehicle height cannot be adjusted, it is not possible to adjust (fine adjustment) the
wheel−load difference between left and right at the rear and front axles!
The varying strength of pads between coil springs and spring seats on the right and left spring struts on the
front and rear axles is not intended for changing the vehicle height but for compensating for differences in
coil−spring load groups.
Because of the different equipment versions (additional equipment), a greater wheel−load difference between
the left and right is permissible than previously was the case in Porsche suspension alignment for the 911
Carrera (996) (over 20 kg is possible). This is partly the result of heavier components compared with standard
equipment and partly results from additional components that are asymmetrically arranged.
