I want to install a later style 911 sway bar on my '71 914. I am not going to 5 lug and I do not want to get into changing the struts on my '71 or swapping an entire 911 front suspension onto the car. I just want to use the later 911 under the body sway bar with the early 914 struts & non vented brakes.
I know I need the tabs for the A-arms. Can I use the 911 A-arms and keep my early struts? Will the early 914 balljoints work in the 911 A-arms? Do I need the aluminum cross member from the 911? TIA |

My72 had a under body sway bar when I purchased it. When I started AX a few years later the bar ripped the body mounts from the car and ripped the metal in a once clean trunk floor. The U tab stayed intact and it made a horrible noise till I was able to remove the bar. Since then I have " upgraded" the whole front suspension from a 85 Carrera. If you plan on spirited driving I would make sure you reinforce where the bar attaches to the body. Otherwise you may end up with a lot more metal work in the future
