Not a common complaint, to be sure. But I think my front end is too low. There is actually a slight rake to the car. While it looks cool, its not very kind on bumps (bump steer) or driveways.
How high can I raise the front end before I have to have it re-aligned? 1/2 inch? A little more? Zach |

I'll venture a guess at almost nothing. As soon as you raise your front end the tie rods will start to level off and you will be toed out.
However, I think the toe is easy to adjust yourself using the method described on PP board. I use this method on my 914 and 911. Check the toe before you begin and check it afterwards. Make adjustments on both sides evenly to keep the steering wheel straight. |
