Anyone have OEM "dog bones" from their 996tt ?

Guys, im trying to figure out why my cars alignment is so tricky. ide like to go back to stock dog bones to see if that does anything.


does anyone have a set they took out of their 996tt that they no longer need ? maybe a tuner that installed dogbones on their customers' car would have a set lying around ?

Please PM me if you can help. thanks

I'll check tomorrow to see if I have any still around. Just did a couple cars so may have some. That wont help your alignment. Looks like your car is a little low. That is more of an issue. The adjustable rear dog bones should help more to get it in spec. While a little extreme, using solid rear subframe mounts will lower the body and give you better suspension geometry... Just a thought. Will check on the dog bones though.

do you have adjustable rear toe links? I was told that if you go too low the factory links wont adjust enough and you end up with some rear toe out and that is bad. Makes car want to wander at speed. Either raise car up or buy some. THey are not that expensive and doing either will require another alignment. Just the toe links should not affect a corner balance where raising the car will require another one.

thats the thing
i HAVE adjustable dog bones. my car is lowered (maybe 1/2" lower than a gt2). we can not get the alignment right on it. i even have adjustable toe arms that i was going to put on the car, but was told in the end that it was useless for my application.

the issue i'm having the rear is that the rear wheels appear to be arched too far back into the rear bumper, and it handles like crap, and rubs at every bump now. and thats on 305 30 19,s which i NEVER rubbed on before.



advice ??
