Last night I did a quick check of the front end since I had done the DE at the "Q" in San Diego as a test to see how the new struts, Koni inserts and Tarett mono ball strut mounts worked after a good alignment. The car handled fantastic and corners like it is on rails, actually 23x9x15 Goodyear slicks! Anyways, the right side was still at ZERO degrees as it should be with cantilever slicks, BUT the left side has PLUS .8 degree camber. It had moved after we spent hours aligning the front end and all. I do not think the strut got bent as I welded reenforcements at the spindle area so it would not move and the sheet metal has nice new super heavy duty braces, etc. The shop sjhowed me another 914 race car and said it had suffered the same problems and the fix was several hard welded tubes and diagonals to brace the upper strut mount sheetmetal and replace the area with a camber box!?

Has anyone else experienced this problem or had to add additional tubes if you are running slicks to stiffen the front sheetmetal in the mount area? I'll post a couple of picts of what I have so far and any ideas are appreciated.
