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(Mueller @ Apr 1 2006, 08:51 AM) 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) Hey Mike, Not just an issue of complexity.. but as I see it, there's really no point in swapping to a pre-SC 911 front end as the caliper mount is still 3.0" rather than 3.5" so there isn't really anything gained in terms of brake torque/ power.. the SC front ends I run across are priced fairly high compared to pre-SC front ends, so breaking it down to it's minimum parts is attractive. If it's just a matter of sleeving a bearing that's a good solution for me since I can make my own parts... Anyone have the measurements? I'd like to make the parts ahead of time before having to pull out the jack stands... |
