I hear a clunk coming from the front end when I hit a bump or a "step up" in the road. When I put her on the lift and the front suspension is hanging down it appears that the torsion rods are not in contact with the suspension. It's as if they need to be tightened but that would raise the front end. I'm sorely lacking in knowledge of the suspension. What say the experts? TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Also Kent, while you're in there ....
.... pull the steering rack suspension cover & check all the attachments there, since the D-side sits under the brake MC & the P-side sits under the windshield washer bottle & hoses - both are known to leak down into the pan & rust from the topside-down at the rack's attachment points. IMHO every 914 owner & prospective buyer needs to check these, & they should be added to the 914's "hell hole" list! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Don't ask me how I know!
