I changed my suspension to the X73 at 36K miles, and just for fun, the tech checked the alignment before taking the old stuff down.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My '03 C4S has 25K miles, has never had an alignment and does not now need one. But I'm curious about the experiences of others on this-I've had few cars that didn't need an alignment after almost 3 years.

POST 2Original post

I would say the next time you change your tires get the car aligned. I've had my car aligned twice and it has 41,000 miles.

POST 3Original post

How much does an alignment cost at the dealer for the C4S? An independent quoted me $240, and another indy quoted $120??

POST 4Original post

The rears are set with negative camber and toe-out from the factory to maximize understeer. I had an indy reduce both on the rears and found it more responsive having less understeer. Also helps the tires wear more evenly from the inner to outer edge.

POST 5Original post

So long as the car is tracking fine and the wheels are wearing out fine, I don't believe you need to have the alignment re-done. I changed my suspension to the X73 at 36K miles, and just for fun, the tech checked the alignment before taking the old stuff down. It was well within specs at 36K miles. Full alignment cost $140 at the local Porsche dealership using state of the art equipment.
