I returned to a 914 after 32 yrs. I don't remember my last one, a 74, riding so rough.
This new 74 rattles my teeth. I did the old school bounce test on the fenders to check the shocks and it only bounced once. Is this a valid test on these cars? The PO did lower the front and that may account for some of the rough ride. Not sure how old the shocks are...could be original...yet they did pass the bounce test... Should I replace them for a better ride? Thanks, Jack |

Bushings are likely buggered,the rubber must be burned or pressed out and replaced.
While you're in there,check your brakes and everything else. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) https://www.google.ca/search?q=914+front+su...ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=195727 |
