914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ WTB: one monoball insert for stock strut top plate (front)

Posted by: mskala Oct 22 2013, 06:50 PM

I know there are monoballs you can buy to replace the stock rubber in front shock mount, without getting the whole aluminum camber plate.

Anybody have just one, or know where to get? Elephant Racing seems to have
these in pairs. I've got one strut that seems to be bent (got it that way) and simple
solution may be to put back stock top plate to keep camber in check, but want a
non-rubber top.

Thanks for any info.

Otherwise can a strut be un-bent economically?

If you call Rennline they might be able to do a single piece.

Where is the strut bent? Does it have the bulge just above the spindle mount?

I don't know where it's bent, nothing was really noticeable, but then we're
talking about 1 or 1.5 degrees here. Nothing against the seller, who I'm sure
wouldn't have known, and still happy to have something where the bearings
can be tightened properly. My original spindles were too worn.

Haven't ever done anything with rennline before, will check it out.

The usually bend on right around where the spindle attaches. It makes a little bulge that you can feel. Google will show you pictures.
