First post here. New to 914's, but I have had a '74 Super Beetle for quite some time, so its the same but different . . . .
Got my new-to-me 1974 on Friday. One of the issues I knew about was that the car sits a little [too] low in the rear. I don't have plates yet, so I could only drive up and down my street a couple of times, but I don't hear any or feel anything funny from the rear and the ride is pretty nice. Any ideas on where to start to level this or problems I should be looking at regarding the rear end sag? Thanks, Bruce |

I'd take mepstein up on that offer!
I'd snake you out if I didn't already have a set... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif) One NICE thing about wimpy spring rates. EASY to compress! Cheapo compressors work great. The rears on a 914 are what technicians consider "Gravy"... Tip for reuse on old struts. Keep them in the same place and mark for direction. Bottom mounting bolt will be an absolute bitch if reversed as they twist the lower rubber bushing with age. |
