Default Wheel hanger

Does the 992 come with a wheel hanger? Audi stopped providing them a while back so just asking; Amazon has them on sale for about 13 bucks

Nope, doesn't come with a wheel hanger. Lining up the bolt holes on a 992 - especially the heavy and bulky 21" rears - would be a whole lot harder not using hangers. I actually use 3 hangers, which makes getting the wheel up and in place a breeze, and ensures the two other holes are perfectly lined up; snug those down to about 25 lb/feet then do the remaining bolts. Sure, 1 hanger is better than none, two is probably adequate, 3 is overkill. I'm fine overkilling it on wheel swaps lol.

Cheapskates.... thanx for letting me know. I'll be hitting Amazon as we speak and getting a set of two as I can always borrow one from the Treg or Macan to perform the overkill. Thanx again!

Well, I feel better now knowing that it’s difficult to do. When I swapped the air filters it was a b!tch getting the wheels back on. Can anybody point me to a good wheel hanger?

I have heard good things about other Future Classic products, so I'd guess their wheel hangers are good too.

https://ind-distribution.com/product...hanger-pin-set

I think, but please confirm the correct thread is M14x1.5

I doubt they'd be different. Tool fits my 08 Touareg, the 15 RS5 and the 20 Macan S...

Right, makes sense.

Not trying to hijack, but still I’m going to ask, what do people use to jack up a 911 that’s also comparable with a Macan?
