Sorting out Bad Handling and Wheel Alignment, Porsche 911, Pt. 2: The Front 

This is an underrated channel. By far. He should have more than 16.8K followers. He will eventually but should be in the 100s. Very cool. Wish I had 10% of these mechanical abilities.

As usual, your thoroughness and attention to detail impress me: I wonder if the average 'shop takes even half as much care in aligning a 911's wheels!

Having just bought an ‘87 3.2, I am glued to your content! Thanks so much for taking the time to document this for us!

Vorlauf, Nachlauf und negativer Lenkrollradius sind für die meisten „Schrauber“ spanische Dörfer. Sturz und Spur verstehen sie gerade noch. Ein G-Modell korrekt einstellen ist echt eine Mammutaufgabe. Mein Respekt

I string off the whole car, then take my measurements at the rim edges,instead of the tire. In the front I got rid of,the stock rubber upper mounts and installed quick change monoballs that have a built in scale, only one large nut to adjust camber, I run as much caster as I can, and a slight toe out so the car turned in better. It’s a little darty on the road, but better for tight courses. I use a smart racing camber gauge which mounts to the rim edges, and has a built in digital level. For the caster I found some inexpensive turn plates. To do all of this I have a perfectly level platform that the car sits on. If you really want it to handle, try corner balancing with the driver weight in the car. It is corner balanced in a x pattern. I have a program on the computer for it. Great video.

An advantage to doing this kind of project yourself is you discover other issues in the process. During this project I found the rear stabilizer bar was hanging free on passenger side, the attachment to the frame mount where bolts screw cracked and broke away, so I MIG welded the plate solidly back on - I think this repair at a shop would have cost more than the alignment ! Coincidentally, the camber was off F & R only on this side, by +1 degree. Maybe because in US the outside part of the roads are more rough and have more potholes creating more wear ? But thank you for the informative videos !

I agree with your observations regarding the effects that a passenger and other variables have on an alignment. At best, the manufacturers recommendations are for best case scenarios. I've had to customize settings in the past to try to accommodate hefty drivers, vehicles that were used as work vehicles and were heavily and unevenly laden and/or constantly used at high speeds for just a few examples. Ultimately, the yardstick is handling and tire wear.

Very nice craftsmanship , well done and I‘d like to know if I could visit your workshop .

It is always a good day when I see there is a new Greasy Fingers video posted, keep up the excellent work

Once more a testament to your meticulous approach and engineering genius, thank you for sharing!

Really loving this manual precision - oh so Greasy Fingers. I finished watching the video thinking the majority of SC's and Carrera's must be running around with terrible calibration and the poor owners are being deprived of the cars true handling dynamics. I really enjoyed this video, thank you.

Ok. We have discussed how relaxing I find your presentation but you exceeded yourself and I actually fell asleep today ;-). Strong coffee and started over. This means I have now watched 1.57 times. More great content !

Amazing, your dedication and workflow are so passionate. I’ve been watching your videos since you started and they never fail to have me glued to the iPad.

… depending on springs and recent amounts of wine and pasta… 😁😆 Again. I really enjoy the effort you put into your writing. Thank you for the content

Although I understand the basic principles, this is like magic to me. Very impressive!

Brilliant detail as usual! Thanks for sharing

Excellent job. I love the replacement of old parts, to make sure all the specs are going to last using new bushings etc.. and the metal work and paint is awesome. but please man, invest in some breaker bars.. using a ratchet to break loose old larger bolts is going to wear you out later on.. use leverage of quality 1/2” drive breakers around 24” or 609mm in length

Watching you work through issues is very pleasant! How do you not have a million subscribers?? So well done.

Got to get out there and check mine now!! 😁

This is magic!

Thanks. Had been waiting for Ep2

Air cool life 😎 👌

Well done

Been looking forward to you next upload 👍

Fascinating and very detailed content. I need a road trip to Berlin to get my 964 properly set up-I can even brew a special beer for you in my Nano brewery for the trouble…

Great vlog I love to live near you … alas I don’t so any advice on why my 76 eating tires on the inside it was lowered by a previous owner… and has a strut brace …. Alternatively ever visit ireland

Very cool.

Hey greasy finger ! Welcome back

Glad to see another video dont have time to watch the whole thing, but dont use the tire to measure use the rim. The tire varries in thickness and moves separate from the rim.

Really quite fascinating. I suppose this is a "how long is a piece of string" question, but are there many places that can carry out alignment to this standard, and dare I ask, how not-cheap would they be?

Excellent videos. I am German but living in California. Have a 78 SC may I ask what type of portable lift you are using ( the blue one)? I need one of those. Thanks.

Great content here! What lift is that?

Welche Lackierpistole verwendest du, da deine „Schutzpappe Inszenierungen“ so nah an der offenen Elektrik geschehen. Kein Overspray?

I replaced my 78 SC clutch release lever. The original lever has a pin that fasten it to the shaft. The new lever that I purchased did not have that pin hole. I did not replace the clutch release shaft. The new lever does not have a pin hole for fastening. to the shaft. The new lever slides onto the original shaft easily. However when depressing the clutch pedal it does not return to normal operation position. The new clutch release lever without the pin fastener may have been a change/replacement. Is it the pin that prevent the clutch release lever from rotating on the shaft and helps the clutch to return the pedal and lever to the normal position. How is this done with levers that does not have a pin fastener.

Servus Herr Fingers. Have (Habe) lange auf der zweite Teil gewartet. Haben Sie meine email gesehen / gelesen? Der Adler sicht ist echt toll! Vielen Dank. Mfg Der Affe.

Can i bring my 964 to you? Amazing!!!

😊
