Panamera S (970) V8-4.8L (2010)
/v8-4.8l/Page-138005.png)
Tire pressure in accordance with specifications, fairly uniform tire tread.
Quick-clamping holder for Panamera (for the measured-value pickups) correctly secured to the wheels.
Receiving surfaces for the quick-clamping holder on the wheels must be clean and flat. In particular, always accurately check the leveling surface on
the wheels before fitting the quick-clamping holders.
Strictly comply with maintenance intervals for measuring equipment and measuring platform. If the leveling of the measuring platform or of the
measuring area is done in-house, leveling equipment is required. A hose level is inadequate!
Skilled handling of measuring equipment and measuring platform.
Sliding plates with transverse motion (rotary motion) at the rear axle are advisable.
Observe the Technical Literature of Porsche AG, the manufacturer of the measuring equipment and the manufacturer of the measuring platform.
Do not treat measured values as a whole, but very critically in regard to driving dynamics, high-speed strength of the tires, tire wear and cost/benefit
effects (time required for correction of unimportant deviations). The toe values are critical for driving dynamics and tire wear.
If the vehicle is measured front and rear, check and adjust the wheel alignment values at the rear axle first.
Camber values at the front axle apply for the straight-ahead position of the wheels. Steering wheel and steering gear in center position when toe is
being adjusted.
Before wheel alignment values are adjusted at the front and rear axles, it is recommended that the vehicle height be checked at curb weight.
Conclusions can then be drawn about wheel alignment values in the event of any suspension alignment that becomes necessary later.
Vehicle height - General
The vehicle height at front and rear axle is not adjustable.
The check points for the vehicle height can be found in the following description.
Vehicle height (vehicle height check) - Preliminary work
1. To check the height, position ready-to-drive vehicle (fully tanked with tire repair kit or spare wheel and tools) on a flat surface or on the measuring
station. The normal vehicle level must be set for vehicles with air suspension. Please read Special notes for vehicles with air suspension.
2. To avoid level control of the air suspension during alignment, switch off level control and switch it back on again when the work is complete.
3. Compress vehicle at front and rear axles by approximately 25 mm 2-3 times and allow it to spring back freely.
Vehicle height (vehicle height check) - rear axle
Dimension X = middle of wheel to lower edge of wing
The distance is measured from the middle of the wheel to the lower edge of the wing -X-.
Vehicle height (vehicle height check) - front axle
Dimension X = middle of wheel to lower edge of wing (rear axle shown)
The distance is measured from the middle of the wheel to the lower edge of the wing -X-.
