Alignment Cards
Boxster and Boxster S alignment cards
Important notes Since mainly electronic wheel-alignment analyzers in conjunction with printers are used, a specimen alignment card is rarely required nowadays.
So that measured results can be documented in individual cases, however, a copy of the alignment cards shown can be used.
The alignment cards can be used for all Boxster vehicles - USA (series / sport), RoW series and RoW sport and Boxster S.
In practice this means the following:
- Alignment cards cannot be ordered for the Boxster and Boxster S.
- Prepare copies of the corresponding alignment card.
- Before measurement, enter the general data, vehicle model and the missing nominal values into the copied alignment card.
Actual values that are equal for all designs have already been entered.
Enter the appropriate version, e.g. USA, RoW series or RoW sport, in the Model column.
- Carry out incoming measurement (actual state) and enter the values in the alignment card.
- After adjustments (if any were necessary), enter the current values in the column Outgoing measurement.
