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) |

Yup,
That's mine. It took about 2.5 hours to get everything out taking my time. I figured it would be so much easier working on the front end once removed. I have started the tear down of the asembly already. Now it's time to shop parts. I think I'll stick with the 4 lug 914 front end for now but want to put the turbo tierod ends on and get a sway bar set-up and some nice struts. I'm also going to replace the bearing in the colum and replace the steering wheel. It should run like a whole different feel (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |
