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) |

Also try GPR (German Parts and Restoration), and HPH (High Performance House). Read the "is AA in trouble" thread before going there. Informative, and they are offering a 5% discount if you are still willing to do business with them. Just make sure that you get Lemferoder, not some off brand. Why do I say this? Becasue I bought the whole dang set up for $90 off of ebay from some place up in Main. I installed and drove for like a month. After the month I looked under my front end and noticed that every rubber part of that kit (the tie rod ends and rubber sleeves) were completely degraded and split. They looked like your front end, but cleaner. Yes I was pissed. So I ended up buying the good stuff from one of the major suppliers. If you find one that you are interested in going with for your parts, post them here and get some feed back. Many of us have been bitten before by the crappy ones and know the good ones.
Oh ya, some people may differ, but obe of the easiest ways to tell that you are getting the right parts is that the tie rod ends will have castellated nuts, not nylock. |
