Front is done.

Road test was good. No looseness in the ball joints, tie rod ends, or bearings.

Brakes ok, rotors true.

Big time handling improvement with the 911 torsion bars, shocks, and swaybar.

There are supposed to be two straps that bolt to the aluminum crossmember and rear mounting bosses. I couldn't see them in any of the pics. Rarely do you get them with the aluminum crossmember. I've cut the ones off the steel rack, and I've fab'd them too, but you gotta have them.

Had to say this Spoke. I really like what you have done to your 914's.
Owners like you are really what makes the 914club click.
Great info you shared as well as the electical help you walked another thru tonight.

Thanks for sharing your 914 information and know how with us.

Paul,
Suspension I was told was 88-89. It has 3.5in bolt spacing metallic body calipers. Are these "A" type calipers?

I don't think the donor 911 led a very long life. On all the suspension parts there was a yellowish undercoating that looked like it was done at the factory or dealer when new. It was sprayed on everything. Even the pad wear sensor wires on the pads had the undercoating meaning that these were the original pads. And the pads have maybe 10% wear. Zero rust (besides storage rust) on all parts and nice finishs which is why I didn't repaint anything.

Perry,
I did install the straps which also hold the swaybar after the pics were taken. A mistake in assembly I didn't instal the swaybar with the A-Arms and crossmember. I thought the swaybar can go on with the A-Arms in place. After about an hour of pissing with the bar with A-Arms in place, I finally unbolted the crossmember and detatched one A-Arm to install the swaybar. Took only minutes to do. What a dumb ass.

Mike,
Thanks for the kudos. Not having found this site until after 8 months of 914 ownership, I'm hooked on the 914club. Parts, help, entertainment, even found my green 914 on the club. Just glad that I can help someone out a little.

No, sorry I don't have any pics, maybe Spoke can post one. I don't have the car anymore. I did bolt up the crossmember and cut the "straps" off the old one and fit them in place though.

The rear suspension is ready to go.

Calipers painted. Wasn't going to paint but original paint was worn off and some rust appearing.

Rear bearings repacked; trailing arms painted

Using driveshafts from the green car. They had less play in the CV's than the ebay ones. Cleaned out old grease from CV's; repacked, reassembled, and painted shaft.

Shocks and springs originally on the green car.

Driver side wheel well cleaned out. Used purple stuff to remove dirt, grease, and for the most part, the dried, hardened undercoating. Cleaned heat exchangers.
