This Porsche 997 came in on a loader as the back end was so low it was scraping the arch.

Background: The Porsche 997 is a high-performance sports car that requires regular maintenance and repair to ensure its optimal performance. One common issue that Porsche 997 owners face is the need to replace the rear springs due to wear and tear. Rear springs are a vital component of a car’s suspension system and play a critical role in providing a smooth ride.

Objective: The objective of this case study is to illustrate the process of replacing two rear springs on a Porsche 997 and the steps involved in the process.

Process: The process of replacing two rear springs on a Porsche 997 involves the following steps:

Step 1: Prepare the car Before starting any work, the car needs to be prepared. First, the car needs to be lifted with a hydraulic jack, and the rear wheels need to be removed. The hydraulic jack should be placed under the rear axle to support the weight of the car.

Step 2: Remove the old springs The next step is to remove the old springs. This involves removing the bolts that hold the springs in place. The bolts are typically located on the top and bottom of the spring. Once the bolts are removed, the spring can be pulled out.

Step 3: Install the new springs After removing the old springs, the new springs need to be installed. The new springs should be carefully positioned in place, ensuring that the top and bottom bolts are correctly aligned. The bolts should be tightened securely.

Step 4: Reassemble the car Once the new springs are in place, the car needs to be reassembled. This involves reattaching the wheels, lowering the car back to the ground, and tightening the lug nuts.

Step 5: Test the car Finally, the car needs to be tested to ensure that the new springs have been fitted correctly.
