Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I've had both of my Porsches aligned with no miles after the car was lifted in fact after the car was fitted with new tires and driven less than 100 feet from the bay where the car was in the air receiving new tires to the alignment bay with no alignment issues at all.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi had the car on lifts in the bodyshop, they tell me I have to drive it in the winter salt and slush for 6-10 miles after been raised for it to "settle". never had to do that for any other car, just jounce a bit, sit in it and then good to go for alignment. don't really fancy driving it now mid winter. is it really necessary?

Not based on my info. Find another shop. I've had both of my Porsches aligned with no miles after the car was lifted in fact after the car was fitted with new tires and driven less than 100 feet from the bay where the car was in the air receiving new tires to the alignment bay with no alignment issues at all. The only guidelines that I'm aware of is the tank be full of gas, excess weight removed, and a spare tire, tool kit (whatever the car came with from the factory) be fitted and in its proper location. Oh and the tires be properly inflated. Some places make a big deal out of putting some weight in the driver's seat. I've had cars done with and without the weight and can't tell the difference. BTW, I watched a Porsche tech align my Turbo and with car on the alignment rack he grabbed something under the front of the car and got the car's nose a bobbing a bit then repeated this at the rear of the car. The car came off the lift with a super alignment and the steering wheel was dead centered. Sincerely, Macster.

thanks - my thoughts exactly.
