Default Alignment...did ja know?

Porsche will pay for an alignment within the first 2,000 miles. See your dealer. With the high cost of tires and the suspension adjusting in the first miles this is a great advantage.

Wow, where did you hear this? My car has 500 miles on the clock and it seems to pull ever so slightly to the right.

I could be wrong, but isn't ever so slightly to the right normal for an alignment...especially on roads where you drive on the right side? Wouldn't want that in the UK. :-D

Good information to know nonetheless though.

Stacey,
You're probably right on that one. Road slope here in the Northeast tends to dip to the right anyway for drainage purposes..I just didn't notice it as much on my old 911. Then again, that car 17-inch wheels.

But hey...if it's free....then wait until the car has about 1800-1900 miles on it and then take it in for the alignment and have them set it up perfectly to your liking.

a good dealer who knows this should tell you. Had it done to my 2000 Boxster S and my 997S. The suspension does settle.

I have heard similar... PCNA will do an alignment in the first 3 months or 3000 miles. Get it while you can...

Good to know. I don't think this information is widely known - thanks for sharing.
