    Help with wheel/chassis setup...

    I'm taking the 997 in for a geometry examination in the morning. Is there anything I should know as to what Porsche recommend for the correct alignment settings etc...

    Thanks all.

    No worries people. The workshop manual is a good place to look! Looks like I've found the information I need. I just hope the guys know what they are doing!!

    Out of interest, where did you have the set up done and what was the outcome - thanks

    A place in York called "North Eastern Tyres". I only had the 4 wheel tracking and geometry checked. There was only a mild front Toeing issue which was having a slight effect on the tyres and a centering of the Steering wheel. Everything else was fine.

    The steering now stays true under braking and acceleration and if I'm honest there is not so much road noise which I didn't expect. Pounds80 though...not cheap for 30 minutes work.

    Pounds80 is cheap if it saves a set of tyres... or loss of control
