Porsche 718 Suspension Malaysia — PASM
718 uses coil springs (no air suspension) — lower running cost vs Cayenne/Panamera. PASM adaptive dampers optional — failure at 100,000+ km (/shock). Front MacPherson, rear multi-link. Malaysia potholes: front lower arm bushings at 60,000–80,000 km. GT4 RS: adjustable coilover suspension — set up for road, not maximum track negative camber.
Porsche 718 Suspension Service
- PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management): standard on S variants — check for warning lights
- Shock absorbers (PASM): inspect at 80,000 km — replacement RM 3,000–6,000 per axle
- No air suspension: 718 uses conventional spring/damper setup — simpler and more reliable than Cayenne
- Sport Chrono + PASM: module codes store suspension fault codes — PIWIS scan needed for accurate diagnosis
