Suggestion
More than once I've pulled off a freeway to check for a low tire cause the way my Boxster was reacting to the road's surface and I have driven my car a lot and over a lot of roads, but still once in a while I get fooled by the road surface and the car's behavior into thinking the car has a low or even flat tire.

Suggestion
I watched one alignment shop take one of my cars out -- not a Porsche -- several times for a quick drive down the block and back -- nothing fancy just normal drive -- and then drive car back onto alignment rack to double check settings and fine tune them.

Suggestion
The Turbo reacts similarly but so far not bad enough to cause me to pull over to check tire pressures.

Be sure to use a place that prints out a reading of of the before and after alignment settings.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

No Porsche dealer in 125 miles. So to me its not an option and I never used a dealer with any of my cars. So I doubt that i would even use one if it was right next door.
Anyway. The 928 had a basic rule when doing an alighment. You cant lift it before you align it. Becasue of suspention settle.
Any rules like this with a 99/996
My 996 really "wagon ruts" and pulls in the slope of the road. I didnt notice it until I got in the 928 and it was soooooo much easier to drive.
I am hoping a correct alignment cures this issue. My tires are in fair to good condition.
Good alignment shop should know the "rules".
My info is the car wants to have full tank of gas, the spare tire and toolkit (if car came from factory with these items) want to be present and properly situated. All extra cargo and weight want to be removed. Tires should be properly inflated.
AFAIK there is no requirement for ballasting car with weight to simulate driver being present. Now some alignment techs do this, and some don't. I've had my Boxster done both ways and I can't tell the difference.
Car is driven into alignment bay and onto alignment rack. Any lifting is done on the rack and car is lifted by its tires not by any body or chassis lifting point.
During alignment tech may grip the car and bounce it up and down on its springs to help settle the car after making some alignment changes. He should also ensure the steering wheel straight and centered.
The proper alignment is done and car then road tested. I watched one alignment shop take one of my cars out -- not a Porsche -- several times for a quick drive down the block and back -- nothing fancy just normal drive -- and then drive car back onto alignment rack to double check settings and fine tune them.
Be sure to use a place that prints out a reading of of the before and after alignment settings. I always like to see what the settings were and were set to.
The 996 probably just behaving normally regarding the wagon rut behavior and such. These cars have pretty wide tires and are sensitive to road surface contours.
More than once I've pulled off a freeway to check for a low tire cause the way my Boxster was reacting to the road's surface and I have driven my car a lot and over a lot of roads, but still once in a while I get fooled by the road surface and the car's behavior into thinking the car has a low or even flat tire.
The Turbo reacts similarly but so far not bad enough to cause me to pull over to check tire pressures.
But get an alignment done anyhow. Chances are car's due for one and a good/proper alignment essential for maximizing tire life.
Sincerely,
Macster.
Awe - that pretty well summed it up Macster!
I will add the alingment rack has floating pads for the tires to help settle the suspenssion and my alingment guy always asks my weight and the frequency that I drive solo vs with passengers
Wide tires will wagon rut - drive slightly off the beaten path to help with this
