I have adjusted the brickwork to lower the back foot on the same side.

It's pretty deep so I use a ramp on one side.

Yes,  I experienced this recently when changing the coil packs on my 996..

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Strange question I know. To get in and out of the garage is over a bluestone gutter in the lane. It's pretty deep so I use a ramp on one side. I get a front wheel lifting off as I go through, just wondering if this is a twist issue given the repetition. 02 996 targa.

POST 3Original post

I would say it’s ok, chassis is designed to flex. i have been going in and out of my drive way like this for 18 years now. Any low clearance car that enters or exits on an angle, the wheel lifts well off the ground Not a mechanical engineer, but cars and suspension is all fine My 2 cents worth

POST 4Original post

A targa is the one car I would try to avoid doing this with

No, if I read your description correctly it’s probably just the natural stiff chassis NOT flexing as per design. My previous 991 GTS would lift a front wheel over speed humps when approached at an angle as the chassis was stiff, I’m not sure I want too much flex in my chassis.

POST 6Original post

Next time you do it, when the wheel is in the air. Stop the car and open the door and get out of the car, if the door won’t close - you have a problem. If it opens and closes, no issue. Dont panic, a std 996 has more chassis strength than a 993 RS with a cage.

POST 7Original post

FWIW you can have both the front and rear wheels lifting up when you jack up the car from the rear as well.

POST 8Original post

Yes,  I experienced this recently when changing the coil packs on my 996..  Jacked at the rear jacking point and the front lifted too.. Nice..  Stiff..  Impressed..

POST 9Original post

Coupes do it. Utes do it. Even shiny silver Cabs do it.

Looks normal to me, just as a stiff chassis should be.

POST 11Original post

Given the serious damage done to the car, I'll buy it off you for a discounted rate.

POST 12Original post

Been doing it with my 996 since owning it last year.... other than being a bit of a party trick, it has zero effect on the car..., still feels like it has been honed from a single billet. Probably wouldn’t be doing same in a Datsun 120Y or Hyundai anything!

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Awesome. Just what I wanted to hear. This a pic with the wheel up. I have adjusted the brickwork to lower the back foot on the same side. Was mainly concerned about the repeated action. Thanks
