1. Preparation:
- Park your Porsche Boxster on a level surface.
- Engage the parking brake and turn off the engine.
- Loosen the lug nuts (but don't remove them completely) on the wheel you want to adjust.
2. Raise the Car:
- Use a floor jack and jack stands to safely lift the vehicle, ensuring stability and avoiding any damage.
3. Remove the Wheel:
- Use a lug wrench to remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.
4. Locate Camber Bolts:
- Identify the camber adjustment bolts on the suspension components. These bolts usually have an eccentric shape or elongated slots that allow for camber adjustments.
5. Adjustment:
- Use the appropriate wrench or socket to turn the camber bolts. Turning the bolts clockwise will decrease negative camber, making the wheel more vertical. Conversely, turning the bolts counterclockwise will increase negative camber.
- Note: Camber adjustments are usually made in small increments to achieve precise alignment.
6. Re-tighten the Bolts:
- After making the desired adjustment, tighten the camber bolts securely.
7. Reinstall the Wheel:
- Place the wheel back on the vehicle and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
8. Lower the Car:
- Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack stands and floor jack.
9. Final Tightening:
- Use the lug wrench to fully tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure even tightening.
10. Test Drive:
- Take the Boxster for a test drive to check the handling and alignment. If the camber feels off, you might need further adjustment or professional alignment.
Remember, camber adjustments should be done correctly to maintain proper handling and tire wear. If you're not confident in performing this task yourself, it's advisable to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or alignment specialist.
