Question Corner Balancing

I could use a little help from some of our European friends, specifically someone from Germany.

I am going to do some suspension work, and will want to get my car corner balanced. What do you call corner balancing in German?

Danke,
--Joe

I thought of just looking it up like that also, I just figured it was to easy. Plus, corner balancing is a concept on how to fine tune your suspension. I mentioned it to a German shop and they had never heard of it.

Show them a picture of some Longacre or Intercomp scales? Seriously, it's not an American thing.

Just wave your hands around and talk real loud they are deaf.

Post this question on Rennteam and you will find many German Porsche owners there.

I'm an expat working in Germany for a few years and have no idea what the German word for it would be. I just had my 993 corner balanced at Manthey Racing and I could arrange everything in English. In fact all the shops I contacted had at least one person who spoke near perfect English. I believe their business now depends on it.

Great call Dan -- thanks.

Corner balance = Radlast-Waage. Radlast = wheel load, Waage = balance/ weighting machine
