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.

Suggestion
Regarding accident, maybe have a good body shop inspect it and also run a carfax to see if there are any records.
Leading evidence: 'Run carfax' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run carfax' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Problem solved, eventually that hub carrier was bent..
Hi,
I have a problem that i cant have enough positive camber in drivers side (front).
max positive is - 2.5 deg ! I just bought the car so dunno what could be the problem.. there is no other adjustment than at the top ? In my 993 that is a bit different structure...
So what are possibilities, bend spindle, worn out bushings or wtf ?
Wait a minute. The alignment specs (roughly) call out 0 degs camber with the tolerance +/- 15 minutes and a difference of 20 minutes.
(Some models call out a bit of negative camber: For instance the GT2 is -1 deg +/- 5 minutes.)
How much positive camber -- remember positive camber has the tops of the wheels/tires further apart then the bottoms -- do you want?
I think you are trying to get more negative camber which is generally the way drivers who want to deviate from the factory settings go.
If you want more negative camber at the front you'll likely not get it as the front suspension does not provide much camber adjustment. You'll need to explore aftermarket suspension hardware that allow for more negative camber along with some adjustment of caster too.
What do you want it to go too? Attached are alignment specs for the 996. I guess you could elongate the 3 slotted holes (on top of the strut tower) that the threaded studs come out of in the frunk.
Car has GT3 alignment, and its not that low .. it has a H&R adjustable suspension kit. I dont wanto get more neg camber, like some one tought, this is MAX positive ( - 2.5 ) if i want, i can get - 4 deg. neg camber atm. Maybe hub carrier has bend or ? But how to check it .. passenger side is works fine.
Do you by chance have adjustable gt3 control arms? If so, did you get any extra shims with it?
Regarding accident, maybe have a good body shop inspect it and also run a carfax to see if there are any records.
Pics of your suspension?
Ill take pics of suspension tomorrow, and control arms are original C2 ..
I ordered today adjustable camber plates (Bigem) so that should do the trick but still need to find out the main fault.
First things first, take it to a body shop and have them put it in the frame rack and see what they say. It may be bent. Mine was the same way AFTER HITTING A DOG! 230$ later it was good to go.
I dunno.... -2.5 degree front camber would actually be pretty damned good for the track! It's extremely frustrating that Porsche doesn't allow more than about -0.5 to -.75 or so degrees of front camber adjustment without replacing parts; Porsche really should have let that adjustability go up to at least 2 degrees. Gotta force the marque structure and only let GT3 go fast, I guess.
