I did a search, but I didn't come up with the information that I was looking for, has anyone put together their own bump steer kit? Hoping to find out where people were able to source the parts from or a parts list that they used to make the kit.

The bigest hurtle is a metric thread ball joint and a couple of machined spacers. You might be able to retap or timesert a SAE balljoint.
I have a 996 here with a kit, it has actual turnbuckles, unfortunately 914 has a much smaller OD and shorter rod. There is a wacky looking kit from elephant, but it's not cheap. How low do you want to go? You can get pretty low without issues with spacers, from there most cut and weld the struts to raise the spindles. |
