My last 914 was pretty easy to steer. I even replaced the stock wheel with an aftermarket smaller one. Wondering from the great experience here on what to look at for replacement. Steering is worse than an old truck.

One simple thing to check: jack up the front and see if you can turn the wheels with your hands ..on the wheel.
You should be able to spin it stop to stop with fairly low effort. |

Thanks to all for the input. All of the wheel bearings are shot, the tire pressure is right on so that is taken care of. I have 2 rear calipers going on, all 4 new brake discs and front and rear wheel bearings. Once those are in I will get the allignment. Now, if all that fails...what would be next if problem is not solved? |
