Just installed M033/Koni susp. Porsche dealer says he has the "tool", and
knows how to use it. Do I just let him set it up, or do I quote settings? Street use only. Half tank, or full? Any info would be helpful.
Steering wheel still has that little "jiggle", I though new springs/dampers would cure. Or is that the alignment issue?

If you're getting the jiggle at speed, check your lower control arm bushings and replace them before your alignment, if worn. When I had my alignment done, I told the shop my weight and dropped it off with a half tank of fuel.

There are street settings that shops go by. They would know. Unless you want more camber or toe or what not for track, then you can always ask for that. For street just go with street set up. Why use dealer? At their labor rates it will brobably cost a lot more. Are you corner balancing it too? That adds a few hours to the job.

Do front bushings then Do alignment.

Post your location and I'm sure you'll get a few great local to you indy shop recommendations (if you want them).

Did not want to take it to dealer, but they are the only ones around that I could find with the Kinematic tool. And I have read, if they don't have one, move on! So dealer.... Any other suggestions would be welcome!
Thanks!
Think I'll take suggestions to do LCA bushings.
But I will still need an alignment shop.

You would probably get some good recommendations if you gave your location as suggested in earlier posts.

Don't think half or full tank matter for an alignment. Only for a corner balance.

If you have a jiggle, an alignment is usually not the fix. The cause is usually an out of balance wheel, worn tie rod, or worn busings, etc.

All 911s steering jiggles. Does it shake at a specific speed?

Sorry location, Metro Detroit

Also make sure all wheel bearings are tight before aligning.

and of course make sure it's the hunter alignment rack. Maybe also re balance the wheels

Alignments are only as good as the guy using them-which is not likely the guy at "Joes" tire shop.
You need to find someplace that knows the car. You won't find Hunters or whoever in any race shop.
It's more a question of finding a palce that understands the geometry and physics involved.

Why? You can set alignement with strings and level if you want to (except for KT). There is no magic to measuring angles and weight.

In any event, Porsche stealer probably has the fancy stuff.

993 (and 964) don't have taper roller bearings up front like the torsion bar cars. So anything not tightened to spec (300+ lb/ft) will pretty quickly get your attention.
