Factory Jack points


AI provides answers to questions such as yours. For example:

"Finding the correct jack points (Wagenheberaufnahme) on a 992.1 Carrera GTS is crucial, especially since the GTS sits lower than a standard Carrera and often features center-lock wheels or delicate aero bits.
The Primary Jack Points
There are four reinforced points located just behind the front wheels and just in front of the rear wheels.
  • Location: Look for the cutouts in the plastic side side skirts. If you run your hand along the underside of the rocker panel, you will feel a hard, circular/oval metal plate recessed slightly.
  • Visual Cue: Porsche usually marks these areas with a small embossed triangle or notch on the plastic trim to guide your placement.

Important GTS-Specific Tips
  • Low Profile Jack Needed: Since the GTS has the PASM sport suspension (lowered by 10mm compared to the S), a standard floor jack might be too tall. You’ll likely need a low-profile racing jack.
  • Jack Pads (Pucks): It is highly recommended to use a rubber jack pad adapter. This fits into the oval hole of the frame point and prevents the metal jack saddle from slipping or scratching the chassis coating.
  • Center-Lock Warning: If your GTS has the optional Center-Lock wheels, do not loosen or tighten the wheels while the car is on a jack. The car must be on the ground for the initial break-torque, and you must use a heavy-duty torque wrench (typically 600 Nm).
