I'm not sure what you're asking, but the Porsche 996 rear suspension geometry is what I used in my homebuilt. I used the 996 forged aluminum uprights and fabricated the 5-link geometry with swaged tubes and rod end bearings. I found that the stock geometry bump steer was a bit off and I had to move the original Porsche inboard pick-up points slightly to correct the error. I suspect that Porsche located those points to compensate for the deflection of their stock rubber joints. The spherical rod end bearings did not deflect under load. I know very little about the 997.

I believe the 996 is the G96 transaxle. If that’s correct, I’m not a fan. I have it in my SLC. Notorious for 2nd gear pop outs, hard to get into 2nd and first at times. Cruising RPM at 70 is averaging 2500 rpm with an LS. Good news is they are super cheap, parts aren’t terrible and most people are holding 450-500hp just fine. If you do have 2nd gear synchro issues you can replace it yourself if you’re relatively mechanically inclined. I have one in my car and another laying around.
