QUOTE(Mueller @ Dec 3 2017, 09:40 AM)  Great job and great looking car. Did you ever figure out what the problem was that lead to wreck? 90% sure. This was my first 911 front end. Prior to this the car was running a 914 front end, or at least uprights. I got two uprights from a good friend (one koni and one raised 19mm bilstein). As far as he and I both knew they were ready to go. After the wreck I found the front bearings loose. I needed to replace the race pads and rotors anyway, so went to change all that out and find the front outer bearings looked like they had been hit with a hammer and the rears seized on the spindle. Turns out I was missing a spacer that the 911 uses for the inner bearing! I only found it after seeing recommendations from SMC to replace the “seal behind spacer” when ordering bearings. “Wait... what seal? What spacer?” None of my uprights had that part. Basically, I had nothing for the inner bearings to seat against allowing for dynamic camber and toe! See part #8 in the diagram.  |
