Read evidence and context

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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just installed the ROW kit on my 996 and it is going in tomorrow for an alignment. I was wondering if it is necessery to add weight(equal to my body weight) to the drivers side of the car while they adjust the alignment? TIA.

POST 2Original post

The weight considerations are only done when corner balancing...not just regular alignment.

POST 3Original post

There isn't anything that having you in the car will adjust. You don't have adjustable spring perches or adjustable sway bar end links. You'll be fine. Just have them bump the camber up if you want to get the most out of the new suspension. NOTE: Wait 2-4 weeks before getting your alignment done. The car will settle a lot in the first 2 weeks. My rear only settled about 1/4" after a month, but my front settled 1" in 2 weeks with the same suspension.

POST 4Original post

I see that my front tires are wearing more on the inside than outside edges. On most cars that indicates a fairly serious miss-alignment . A local service writer sort of let it slip that that is pretty common but then said I should bring it in for a $200 alignment. Previous meticulous owner's records show an alignment 20k miles back. I have seen that few newer cars seldom are off and need aligning. Opinions? jVm
