I need help understanding how the suspensions on these 914's work.
Does anybody know of any how do 914 suspensions work on the web? I am working on the wrecked 914...I have discovered the splined shaft inside the torsion bar (is that right?), has broken or came loose? This should affect my ride height right? That corner is dropped to the ground. Anyone...any info. |

The splined shaft is the torsion bar. In effect it is a straight spring that works by twisting. The splines have to be attached at both ends of the A arms. It sounds like the bar may indeed be broken--it does happen. They should be replaced in pairs, not just one side.

But it is looking like I need a new torsion bar, a-arm and tie rod. That's what I know of at the moment anyway. I am going to college and trying to get my 914 back on the road for transportation... |
