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! |

Well replacing the ball joints didn't fix my high speed wobble, so now I'm looking at the tie rods. While they both seem worn (and since the boots are compromised I'll be replacing and upgrading to the 930 turbo tie rods) I don't feel as if that's the causation. Also, the wheel bearings seem ok with no clunking or rotation noise.
I did however detect something on the drivers side of the steering rack. There's some definite movement and even a slight clunking noise. But could this be the reason for a high speed wobble? I have a spare rack from a parts car and when I compare, the spare does NOT have the movement and clunking I detect on the rack that's on the car. Check the vid attached to see what I'm talking about. Anyone have actual not theoretical experience on this? https://youtu.be/dKwYfT0yTnA |
