I haven't had the opportunity to dismantle my front end... yet. I was under the impression that...
So the 911 arm is not identical to the 914. I see in PET that the part number for the 914-6 control arms match the 911. I'm posting it because a reliable 914 source locally has told me that they are interchangable (911 / 914-4) but I didn't believe so. Thanks to anyone who can clear this up. |

The only difference between a 914/4 control arm and a 911 control arm are the splines for the torsion bars. The 914/6 uses the 911 control arm, so it has the 911 torsion bars.
Other than that one item, they are interchangeable. I have 914/4 control arms on my car with 911 struts and a 911 aluminum cross member. No problems getting anything to fit. |

I've read that 914 cover plate won't fit with 84-89 911 aluminum cross member. Also, are the late (84-89) 911 control arms made of aluminum as well? Thanks, Mike |
