Spring strut locking devices

General

Spring-strut locking devices are installed at the front axle in order to protect new ROW vehicles with special option M 030 (sport-type running gear) during transport (e.g. onloading and offloading from trucks).

The spring-strut locking devices are yellow. As the reservoir tubes of the shock absorbers are painted black, the yellow spring-strut locking devices are clearly visible. This substantially reduces the likelihood of their being overlooked and therefore not removed.

It is not necessary to return the removed spring-strut locking device to Porsche.

Dismantling spring strut locking devices

1. Raise vehicle (wheels must be free). The wheels need not be removed.

2. Remove spring strut locking devices from all spring struts. To do this, pull spring strut locking devices from the springs.
