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.

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.

I picked up my 'new' Approved Used 987.2 Boxster yesterday from the dealership. I have noticed that when on full steering lock (in either direction) there is a pronounced judder. This is rectified by coming off full lock by 1/8 of a turn on the wheel.
Is this a known 'issue' with 987.2 - some kind of driver feedback? Or perhaps symptomatic of a bigger underlying problem?
Thanks in advance,
Rest assured. It's not a fault at all, just a feature of these vehicles. Someone technical can explain better but I believe it's due to the two front wheels following slightly different arcs.
Many a new owner has queried this so you are far from alone!
Happens with the newer 981 generation too - forwards or reverse at low speed I've found. Something to do with the suspension geo and width of the tyres, but can't remember the details
Thank you for the quick responses. That is all very reassuring.
Now, perhaps you can help me with another problem that I noticed this morning. My car can't get into my garage
There is a 6" height difference between my drive and my garage and the current ramp joining the two is more like a curb. Anyone want to bring a jackhammer and a bag of cement to Prestbury, Cheshire?

Sounds like a job for a large sheet of thick chipboard or similar. Cheap, not permanent and easily replaced if damaged.
My 987 2 does exactly the same and I was concerned at first, but now know that they all do do it so have got used to it.
As for the driveway, chipboard is the cheap fix.
The garage needs a permanent fix. There is a 2" vertical drop to begin with (90° to the floor) followed by a slope that must be near 50°. All this and it starts 10" beyond the exterior of the garage door. I'm sure I can improve on this and end up with a longer slope nearer to 20°. The car being in the cold and wet is just the motivation I need.
