Of course, today brings a new challenge. Had my wheel alignment done yesterday, got home, filing the papers and noticed the machine settings they had loaded said year 1998/type 993 - uh-oh!
Queried it PDQ with the tyre fitter (who are pretty good usually - a pro tyre dealer actually so they do all sorts of track circles as well) - they checked it, called me back said they checked the settings for the 996, and for that model year(!) the settings for the 993 and the 996 are one and the same. Eh?
Now I'm not the brightest penny in the box, but even I know the cars are different shapes and chassis on the face of it I woudl have thought completely different setups - I can't see that the settings for track, camber and toe could be the same, but I wondered if anyone else had ever encountered this issue?
Could it be its just an average setting on a non Porsche specific machine.
Alternatively does anybody (Richard H!) know what the settings are supposed to be please so I can compare the readout?
My thanks.
