How do you adjust the front of a Porsche 911?
(For our metric friends, about 3.5 mm per half-degree camber). The front of a 911 (or most Porsches) is fairly easy to adjust. Loosen the hex bolts at the top of the strut and mark the position of the plates so you know where you started. You may have to remove some of the goop around the plates.
How are side windows installed on a Porsche 911?
The side windows are installed in a similar manner to the front and rear glass. Proceed with caution at every step, and make sure that you have a patient assistant. If you do break any glass, vacuum it out of your vents before you turn them on. Use appropriate gloves when handling the glass.
How to measure the toe of a Porsche 911?
It works great on front or rear wheels. An easy method of measuring toe can be done by sticking a thumb tack into your tire in a full tread area near the center of the tread, at the frontmost point of the tire (not too deep!). Hang a string from the tack with a weight such as a plumber’s bob which almost reaches the ground.
How to alignment a Porsche 911 Turbo Turbo?
Before adjusting anything, support the car on jack stands, remove the rear wheels and make sure that both rear suspension arms are at full droop. Then measure from a convenient point on the torsion bar cover (I make a dot in the center of the round end), to the hub of the rear brake (to the closest point on the hub).
