-
Measure runout (turn wheel hub and read value off gauge).
-
If the runout measured is more than 0.2 mm, loosen the screws slightly and center the joint.
-
When the runout is acceptable (0.2 mm maximum), tighten the pan head screws to 42 Nm, (31 ft lb).
4. Mount joint carrier (ball joint) on wheel carrier.

Front Drive Shafts With Centering
Since June 9, 1995, four-wheel-drive vehicles (911 Carrera 4 and 911 Turbo) have been fitted with drive shafts (No. 1) which are centered in the
halfshaft flange (No. 4) of the front axle final drive unit by their caps (No. 2).
It is therefore no longer necessary to check runout when installing drive shafts. Precise introduction dates (and vehicle ident. nos.) are given in
Technical Information.
Centering is by means of the cap (2) on the drive shaft (1) and the halfshaft flange (4), which is designed to fit the cap, on the final drive unit.
