Default Front Suspension Work

I just got the drop links, ball joints and sway bar bushes for my 1995 993 C2 front suspension. The problem is that here in India we do not have an official Porsche mechanic and I have been trying to get a factory manual for the last six month but have not had any success. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the replacement procedures for these parts and also the wheel alignment instructions. I dont want a mechanic experimenting with my car without the right procedures.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Sandman

There are alignment specs posted at Robin's p-car site:
Alignment Specs

There is also a spring and suspension DIY page:
DIY suspension changes

This may have enough info for you since you cannot get a manual.

Best of Luck,

Sandman,

All of the above mentioned parts are pretty self explanatory, any half way decent mechanic should be able to figure out how replace them just by looking at the components on the car.

The front sway bar bushing may be tricky, as the bushing holder is only bolted from one end and clipped in to the frame from the other end.
