993 Turbo alignment sheet - input wanted

[PiB]

Can I ask any P-car alignment experts to take a look at this alignment sheet and reflect any thoughts? I asked my mech to provide a setup that would prolong the life of the tires. The car handles great except I'm not liking how it initially turns it with a bit of a lurch and is not as progressive/gradual as I would like. Once I'm turning it loads up nicely and is okay it's just the transition from going straight to the initial turn of the wheel. Does this alignment reflect that kind of a behavior?

That said getting the car aligned after being out of alignment made such a huge difference in driving pleasure. Car tracks straight, steering is lighter and more communicative.

I didn't dig out my references but the alignment numbers look ok, reasonable.

One thing to consider is if you drove the car any time before the alignment the tires may have taken on a odd wear pattern.

What you might be experiencing is the result of this, the front tires do not have as good a contact with the pavement as they would have had they been new and the alignment right from the start.

Be sure the tire pressures are ok. I know the car was just aligned and these should be ok but there's a chance the tires were over or under inflated.

And while it doesn't happen often, a slow leak can cause a tire to get low and this can affect a car's handling

Do you know if they used the Kinematic toe guages on the rear axle? 993's very susceptible to setup of the correlation between the suspension links.......

Agree with Pope. The alignment on my Turbo was fine, but the kinematic toe was out on both sides. It did a strange sort of lurch when turning in as a result. I had the kinematic toe done & it is a lovely thing again.

I should have mentioned - they put new shoes on at the same time. Continental DWS all weather (I know I know not high performance).

Yes my mech has (claims to have/use) and uses the Porsche kinematic tool to get the alignment right.
