poobarr Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hello all I have a Boxster 3.4S (2007) which I bought in Dec 2010 which i love apart from the following: the car has an issue with when parking. Basically it feels as though your going over a bumps when your have the steering on hard lock. This happens going forward and backwards. The car has the 19" turbo wheels that came as standard. It drives faultlessly other than this, although the tracking may be just slightly out, could this be the issue? Many thanks dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Get the balljoints checked out, Hartech do good value replacements on an exchange basis if they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbeard Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 By coincidence I was just looking at a similar thread on Boxa.net. One poster said that they all do this. I know mine does when I reverse of the drive and apply hard lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) They all do this, I had a 987S and it did a bump/skip thing on full lock - its mentioned on the AA review of the car and called "Ackerman effect" being related to the front wheel geometry. Its more obvious in the cold and on cars with a light front end - like mid/rear engined Porsches ParkingThe sloping bodywork and low seating position of the Boxster mean the extremities are not always in view, but the model still proves reasonably easy to park once familiar. The turning circle is good, although there's a tendency to skip at low speed on full lock due to the chassis configuration. Rear blind spots can be eliminated by dropping the roof.

fatcat Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I remember mine was prone to this as well - rest easy, it's normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
