Or is this a specialist job which can only be done by an Indy or Porsche Mechanic using special equipment?
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.

Due to the excessive inside wear on the tires of my 1999 996 Cab. Is there a DIY procedure where I can take off a portion of slant of those wheels? Or is this a specialist job which can only be done by an Indy or Porsche Mechanic using special equipment? Just wondering.
Yes, you can do it yourself.
The string method and laser method are the most widely used.
But taking it to a shop for a full alignment is usually much more accurate.
And while most Porsche owners will only let a 500 year veteran of Porsche mechanical engineering school with diplomas and enough experience to build a car blind touch their cars, this is something that any local shop can do.
I have my Auto-X car done a dozen times per year. A local shop has a yearly charge for people like me. I go in before a race and give them the exact toe/camber angles I want. Then on Monday I go back and have everything set to 0-0
Have them focus on the Toe, the scrubbing wears tires on the inside much more that camber ever does, Camber is much more spread out due to the tire flexing....
Hurdi, keep in mind that reducing negative camber will also impact cornering grip. You indicate that you like to drive your car enthusiastically, so you might want to be cautious about how neutral you go with the alignment...you are accustomed to driving it with the bite the negative camber provides.
When my local dealer aligned my '99 996, the tech asked me several questions first, like "Do you do DE events? How many a year? Do you do auto-cross? Tell me about which tires you run on the street, on the track, etc."
Then he showed me the standard front and rear factory settings and explained how various alignments have specific advantages/disadvantages...depending on intended usage.
After completing the F and R alignments, he gave me a print-out showing the before and after settings.
Cost=$180
Value=priceless

This is something that any decent shop can do.
No need to go to a Porsche dealership.
As long as the shop has a true 4 wheel alignment set up, they can do the work. And print outs are always included.
