Its Suspension Time!, anyone with tips tricks? Options

[cha914]

Starting friday I will be pulling the suspension off the 914 and

- installing Koni sports all around with the fully adj perches in the rear

-new poly bushings all around (from weltmeister...street compound)

-turbo tie rod kit

-new ball joints

...anyway...this is the last part of the 914 that I haven't pulled off the car yet, so its time. any, tips, hints that you have will be much appreciated. I am going to be doing this with the help of a lift and plenty of tools...so I am hoping to knock this out over the weekend...doable?

Thanks,

Tony

I tried to take pics of it... but none of them turned out. Just make a spiral path down the inside of them with something resembling a Dremel tool. I use a air grinder and carbide tip. Takes about 10 minutes per bushing. It really helps keep the grease in them. For what little material your removing..it will not compromise the structural integrety of the bushing. I cut the groove about half the thickness of a pencil (maybe a tad less). Just enough to hold the grease while you slide them on.
