Porsche 911 steering is no longer straight

The steering wheel is tilted to the left even though it is running straight

Porsche driving lessonParticipated in the Porsche Truck Experience Master CourseAlso, I was a little busy and couldn't get on the black carrera properly.

A few days after PTX, I was actually in Kyushu, and I was having a busy day.

and! Finally, a few days after PTX, I was able to ride the black carrera for the first time in a while, and this day I ran on the highway.

Hmmmmmm.

Something is wrong. I ran while thinking "What is this?" Yes, what was wrong was like this ↓

This is the state of steering when the car is running straight.

I understand? ?? The steering wheel is bent to the left, isn't it? ??

Normally, if the steering wheel is tilted to the left this much, the car will also go to the left. But it's different. My Carrera, "run straight" with this steering wheel tilted to the left this much.

What is this?

Just in case, check the condition of the tires. If there are no particular errors, nothing seems to be wrong. Tires are in normal operation.

"What happened, Mr. Black Carrera !!!" I was in a hurry and immediately contacted the Porsche sales person. Since you can see it, I stopped by the Porsche Center on the way back.

The adviser who brought the car to the Porsche Center also said, "I knew that the steering wheel was bent immediately after running a little in the parking lot here." It wasn't a misunderstanding, but the 911 was running straight with the steering wheel really turned to the left.

so.

Look at it and wait ... No, the result came out almost without waiting. It seems that the cause was too easy. The reason why this handle is bent is ...

"It's tire scraps."

What?

What?

Tire scraps?

"What are you talking about?"

And when I look at it ... Wow. If you take a closer look and take a closer look, the tire scraps are actually very tight! !! ↓

That's right, at the end of the PTX Master CourseFree practice of Fuji SpeedwayThere was so much tire residue because I ran the circuit there.

In fact, on the way back from FSW, and when I ran for a while after that, the tire scraps came off while driving, saying, "Hmm? Something seems to be attached to the tires? I felt it was flying.

Furthermore, even when I washed the car after PTX, I was thinking that "Oh, when I run on the circuit, I get tire scraps like this" while taking the big tire scraps on the wheels.

Even so, when I washed the car, I didn't dare to look at all the tires, I just removed the tire scraps on the wheels that I could see only from the side.

Because, because I'm a beginner on the circuit, I didn't know that there was so much tire residue! !! !! !! (As always, the height of ignorance).

Anyway, as a result of checking properly, there is no particular problem with the car itself, and the reason why the steering is tilted is that a large amount of tire residue attached to this tire is the cause.

Well, Porsche is amazing after all.

It's true that there are a lot of them, but with such a step (what is it?), The steering wheel bends so much. How well designed it is. Impressed.

I was so impressed that I didn't really have time to be impressed, and I just said, "I have to get rid of tire scraps !!".

The Porsche Center said, "The tires are no longer good (driving on the circuit), so please change the tires." I'm thinking of changing the tires soon, but for the time being. In the meantime, I wanted to get as much tire scrap as possible.

It's really unpleasant to drive with Carrera's steering bent (but it runs straight while the steering is tilted (laughs)), and I can't leave the 911 in this state! !! !!

It doesn't stop when I'm worried, so I ran for tens of kilometers at high speed to warm up the tires (& expecting that the tire scraps will fly again at a certain high speed) ... Suburbs where cars are hardly stopped on weekdays I parked it in the second parking lot in a certain place (it is a good place to park) and devoted myself to removing tire scraps.

If you look closely, you can see that it's so big and it's still stuck together ...

I can't remove the tires, so I can only work in the rear where I can see and reach, and in the front I work while moving the car little by little and turning the tires.

I thought I'd done my best, but when I was in the car thinking, "I'm about to go home today," ah. It's still useless ... I took it like that.

It's stiff (tears).

So, I regained my mind, and a few days later, I went on a journey to run at the same high speed and remove tire scraps. It doesn't work (laughs).

Because I'm curious. I want to do something quickly (you may be wondering if you should change the tires quickly, but I would like to write it separately, but there is also a problem here and I can not change it immediately).

The place I went to get the tire scraps for the second time is the same place, so I may not be able to see it on another day (laughs), but I did my best again on another day.

When I was doing my best to remove tire scraps in this way, there were people who bothered to stop by and call out for help, such as "Is it okay? Did something stick in the tire?" Or "Is it a problem?" I did.

Everyone is kind (crying).

But when I said to such kind people while holding a pair of pliers, "Oh no, it's okay, I'm just taking the tire scraps ... Thank you ^^" Was left.

Uuu.

I feel like I've trampled on my kindness ... I'm sorry ... But I was impressed by the kindness of the people who spoke to me. thank you! !!

So, then, the front tires that seemed to be pretty clean after the second high-speed driving and tire scrap removal ↓

If I was just focusing on removing tire scraps on this day, I noticed that the spider was trying to thread the 911 bonnet.

Stop it for a moment! !!

As a result, I felt that I was able to get rid of it a lot in the second time, but it was still useless, so I can't help but want to get the black carrera back as soon as possible. A few days later, I went to remove the tire scraps for the third time.

Yes, it was Christmas Eve on the day when I removed the tire scraps for the third time (laughs).

I posted on Twitter that "I played with a lot of black carrera on Christmas Eve (daytime)", but it was certainly fun to run at high speed, but basically The purpose is to remove tire scraps.

A life of taking car tire scraps alone on Christmas Eve (laughs)! !! !!

Well, this was a happier time for me because I was too happy to spend time with Black Carrera (metamorphosis).

Result ... Hmm, is it a little better? ??

How about. When I actually run, I feel that the slope has decreased from the beginning.

The front was a little removed, but the rear was probably not removed at all ... (invisible & unreachable part). Hah.

In general, my husband, who had a strange wife, said, "Would you like to give me a tool to remove tire scraps as a Christmas present?" (Laughs), but I thought it was good for a moment. I saw it, but in my case I can't work with the tires removed, so even if I have a tool, I can't use it, so I stopped it.

The couple's conversation is already strange.

Maybe I don't say much from women, but if there's something I want now, it might be a new tire (laughs).

So!

Actually, I decided to change the tires at once. However, as mentioned above, there are actually pitfalls there. I will write about this again next time.

Hmmm, tire scraps! !! !!

... Rather, it's my fault that I didn't even know that it would be better to remove the tire scraps immediately after driving on the circuit.

From now on, I thought I'd do everything I could. Continue to consider tire replacement.

★ Addition ★
If you adjust the tire alignment by SNS comments etc., it will be fixed immediately & it looks like you do not need to change the tire yet? I also received the opinion, so I will check with the Porsche Center again at the beginning of the year ^ ^
