Suspension Alignment

[Chris_911]

Took my wife's 987 to my local Pro Tyre today to check alignment and was very surprised to find that they did not have the settings for the 987.

Can someone point me to a resource for this information?

Many thanks.

Any online resources?

Try joining www.renntech.org (it's free) and post the question on the 987 forum there. The organiser, Loren, has most of the workshop manuals and should be able to help.

i tied that post on Renntech 4 weeks ago - i got a very comprehensive, but at times illegible response (not form Loren i might add) about how to do it, but no data. My local tyre shop have the Boxster listed, but nothing about 987 and certainly not with PASM.
I'm trying Demon Tweeks next.

I saw both your posts today. It's quite simple - porschelibrarian wants to sell you the workshop manual!! Hence the detailed but relatively useless reply. My guess is that maybe Loren hasn't got the 987 manual yet, otherwise I would have expected him to give you the figures.

Exactly my thoughts Richard [] - Loren is normally the first to divulge the in depth numbers
