Front Axle

Front Axle

As before, the front axle consists of a strut suspension with longitudinal and transverse control arms. This concept ensures very precise wheel guidance in combination with a high degree of rolling comfort.

For effective damping of vibrations transmitted into the chassis via the wheels, the new 911 models also feature the hydraulic bearing on the control arms on the front axle. This allows exact control of chassis elements as well as increased driving comfort. Hydraulic damping, particularly on the front axle, reduces the amount of disruptive vibrations transmitted to the steering.







Spring strut







The spring strut consists of a double-tube gas-filled shock absorber and a conical spring, which in turn is adapted to the different vehicle variants.


- Basic Carrera chassis Spring rate: 27 N/mm
- Carrera/Carrera S PASM chassis Spring rate: 33 N/mm
- Carrera/Carrera S PASM sports chassis Spring rate: 36 N/mm

- Basic Carrera 4 chassis Spring rate: 30 N/mm
- Carrera 4/Carrera 4S PASM chassis Spring rate: 33 N/mm
- Carrera 4/Carrera 4S PASM sports chassis Spring rate: 36 N/mm


The springs are color-coded to indicate the spring tolerance and the chassis version.

Anti-roll bars

The diameter and thickness of the anti-roll bars have been designed to match the vehicle's weight and driving dynamics. The following variants are installed:

911 Carrera
- Basic chassis Tube 24.0 x 3.8 mm
- PASM chassis - Coupe Tube 24.0 x 3.8 mm
- PASM chassis - Cabriolet Tube 24.5 x 3.8 mm
- PASM sports chassis - Coupe only Tube 24.5 x 3.8 mm

911 Carrera S
- PASM chassis Tube 24.5 x 3.8 mm
- PASM sports chassis - Coupe only Tube 24.5 x 3.8 mm

911 Carrera 4
- Basic chassis - Coupe, Cabriolet Tube 22.5 x 3.5 mm
- PASM chassis - Coupe, Cabriolet Tube 23.6 x 3.5 mm
- PASM sports chassis - Coupe only Tube 23.6 x 3.5 mm

911 Carrera 4S
- PASM chassis Tube 23.6 x 3.5 mm
- PASM sports chassis Tube 23.6 x 3.5 mm

NOTE: This technical data is intended merely as an overview. As it is subject to change in the course of the model year, the data published in the PIWIS information system always takes precedence. The allocation of color codes is contained in the Parts Catalog and/or in the PIWIS information system.

Steering

The steering system has also been adopted from the previous models. With the variable steering ratio, the new 911 models also feature a steering system that offers excellent steering precision and agility, particularly on routes with many bends, as well as excellent driving stability at high speeds.

Basic information on the steering system can be found in the Technical Service Information for the 911 Carrera (2005).
