I just got a set from Porsche, and looking at the bushings, install could be interesting. |

QUOTE(Jacob @ Dec 20 2018, 10:24 AM)  Thanks Jacob. Glad this video is helpful. The process is tricky and I went through a few sets of bushings during the install. @mikey914 and @matty900 we’re super helpful during production, assisting me in documenting the optimal process. As I mention in the video, it’s a good idea to order a few extras sets and return whatever you don’t use. I’m not sure about the Porsche OEM ones, but the 914rubber bushings aren’t expensive. For other people considering this, the elephant racing ones are a bunch more spendy last I checked and if you’re not going with polybronze, 914rubber’s versions are at least as good as theirs. The URO ones seem to be made to wider tolerances and, according to Elephant, use materials that aren’t as optimal. Whichever bushings you choose, this is not a job you want to do twice, so choose wisely. You can definitely do this with patience and by exactly sticking to the steps in the video. And the ride improvement is worth it. Others here in the brain trust are far more knowledgeable than I am and this community will support you every step of the way. Just be safe! |
