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 |

I did the 911 A-arms, t-bars, aluminum crossmember, and underbody sway bar to my 4-lug 914.
Put new ball joints on, bolted it in, and drive. Pretty simple and much better handling. Maybe not the ultimate setup, but damn good for the street driving I do. I'm not sure how it interferes with servicing the suspension. I've had mine on for about 6 years now and haven't touched the suspension except to add 911 struts to 5-lug my 914. |
