Hello - I have an 05 TT-S Cab and am getting ready to install PPS10's and have a question regarding the set up. In the Adrian Streather book "The Essential 996" he states that "when PSS9's are installed on 996 Turbo which are fitted with PSM the steering position sensor must also be re-calibrated using the Porsche system tester 2 (PST2)". Anybody have experience or knowledge of this? I am having an independent shop do the install. Any help will be most appreciated.

 

You'll need an alignment when you are done...., mostly to adjust camber, but the toe could change with ride height too. Zeroing out the steering position sensor is a necessary part of the alignment process.

 

Ralph,

A bunch of us from the Northern VA and MD/DC area are meeting at the Rockville Starbuck's this Sunday, May 17th at 10AM if you'd like to join.....

Berk - thanks for the invite but I am on my way to Bethany Beach for the week. Let me know when the next event is and I will be there.

 

Ralph, Sounds great buddy. Have a great time at Bethaney. We actually do these GTG's every other Sunday at 10AM. This week is Rockville, the next one on May 31st is in Tyson's Corner. Go back to that link and it'll show you the 2009 calendar season of Get-Togethers.

Berk - I saw the link and I will try to be there on the 31st! It is only about 7 mile from my place.

 

This is the first I have heard about re-calibrating the steering sensor after an alignment. I also would like to hear more input on this.

 

The service-repair manual of the 996TT states very clear that any change in suspension(shocks,coils,etc)and of course any allignment correction should be followed by recalibration of steering wheel angle sensor...This is very common at any vehicle having a DSC or PSM or any other stability system...

 

FYI- I mentioned this to the indy Porsche shop here in the city and was met with blank stares... Double check your shop knows what they're doing
