Sooo...it's come time to refurbish my front suspension. I don't need to do tie rods or sway bar bushings and I'm not going to work on the steering rack yet, so this'll be a "partial" rebuild.
I did some searching but really couldn't find a comprehensive guide to rebuilding the 914 front suspension. Does anyone have a link to something? I gather what I'll be doing is the torsion bar bushings, the wheel bearings and the ball joints? Are their more bushings and or bearings that I haven't included? Thanks all! |

I'm going to be replacing the control arm bushings and ball joints in my front suspension soon, so I thought I'd tag onto this very-relevant thread.
Has anyone used the URO front bushings? Are they okay? Besides being from URO, that is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Pelican has them for $30/set, which is quite a bit cheaper than the Elephant parts. Or, are the Elephant rubber bushings just so much better than the others that they're worth the extra $$$? I don't really need the Elephant install tools, since I can make my own if needed, and there doesn't seem to be any way to buy the Elephant rubber bushings without the tools. |
