aren't the 914 struts identical to the pre-SC struts minus the 5 lug hubs? Are wheel bearing identical? Can I just switch the hubs (front only).

QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Mar 31 2006, 11:11 PM) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Wow, I have never seen that before. Is it realy more economical than just swapping the whole front end ? You would still need breaks and such. Still neat, though. it's a fairly common mod for the VW bug crowd...I see nothing wrong with it if done correctly....if you are paying someone for the parts, then yes, I could see the cost being the same or more... one benifit is that you don't have to replace as many parts...many people feel more comfortable just replacing calipers and a wheel hub than having to remove a complete strut or a-arm assembly (and then have to get a wheel alignment) |
