Front Suspension

Front Axle / Steering





- Modified wheel carrier (no.1) lower mounts for control arm and tie rod.

- Tie rod no.2. with less curvature. The tie rod ball joint is mounted on the wheel carrier the other way round (on the Carrera, the fastening nut is on the bottom of the steering arm. The fastening nut on the Carrera RS is on the top of the steering arm.)

- Power steering gear with modified ratio.

Carrera (993) = 16.48 :1 (left hand drive)
Carrera RS = 18.25:1 (left hand drive)

A connecting brace is installed between the steering mounting points.

Caution: For assembly work, you must take account of the changed position of the steering gear mounting screws in connection with the connecting brace.

- Steering wheel: three-spoke steering wheel without airbag, diameter 360 mm (Momo).

The airbag steering wheel with a diameter of 380 mm is available as an option.

- Control arms with harder rubber metal mounts.

- The front stabilizer has live mounting holes for individual adjustment. The vehicle is delivered with the stabilizer mounted in the central position. This standard setting must not be changed for normal road use.

Caution: This setting must only be changed for individual adaptation to the driver's personal driving style in racing use. On public roads. the stabilizer must be mounted in the standard position.

- Spring strut: progressive coil spring with modified (higher) spring rate.

As with the 911 Carrera, the lower spring mount is adjustable. The RS has an additional lock nut.

The damping forces of the twin-tube shock absorber are lower than on the earlier Carrera RS (964) (more comfortable ride).

- The spring strut mount has a Unibal joint. This can be used to set the camber from the normal value to a racing setting. For adjustment, there are two slots (arrows) in the upper part and three bolts (no.1) in the lower part of the mount.

The increase in camber if the slots are used is about - 10 30'. Fine adjustment by about ± 20' is possible by moving the joint in the slots.

Caution: The racing setting must be used only for racing. For use on public roads, the camber must be set to the standard position.





- The suspension brace shown is standard equipment on the Clubsport version (M 003). It is also available as an option for the basic version (M 002).
