Hey all,
After finally getting back to the states I had a chance to start going through my To Do list for the teener. Well that list just got allot longer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) THe whole front end is shot and will need a bunch of work. Anyone willing to discuss options? Replace what's there or swap out the front end? Also any tips on dropping the front end? I figure that it's easier to work on the suspension when it's out from under the car. So 2 ball joints 2 tierod ends and struts at a minimum. Yikes Attached thumbnail(s) |

a bumpsteer kit of you plan on lowering it, cheap. weit bushings, the cheapest way to go, you get what you pay for. after you figure out what you going to do with regards to the ball joints, just order new new pins/bolts at the same time. add in an alignment. then...you'll prob decide to get a corner balance while you're in there. so you need to decide which type of strut/shock/springs to get so you don't pay for the corner balance twice. gonna stiffen things up a bit, plan on new torsion bars for the front. brace yourself for the costs. do it right (the first time). you're gonna spend a grand, unless you scrounge a bunch of used stuff. then you are sort of where you started. oh yeah, new wheel bearings, grease seals. new rotors? new pads...it never ends. yrmv.
