I have a pair of blistens from an '81 911 that I want to install on my 914. I have the 911 a-arms as well, but my 914 arms are in better shape which brings me to my question:

Will 911 ball joints (911-341-049-05-M69), lock plate, nuts etc., play nicely with my 914 a-arms?

Thanks in advance for answers.
peace,
Chuck

I have 1979 911 Bilstein struts in my 914 A-arms with no problems. The PO replaced the ball joints right before I bought it, according to him, with Bilstein specific 911 units. I never had to double-checked 'em so I don't have the numbers.

The only implication otherwise is that you have to use 914 torsion bars instead of 911's. No problem there either. I'm on my 3rd set of torsion bars dialing in two conversions in this car. I like the Bilstein sport inserts.

The differences between the 911 a-arms and 914 a-arms are:

1. The torsion bar splines (torsion bars are not interchangeable due to this)

2. The connection for the sway bar is different (at least on all but real early 911s)

My advice would be to continue using your 914 a-arms.

Thanks. On another note one of my best friends grew up in Evansville and my inlaws live about 50mins away in Madisonville KY. There is a nice little rock climbing gym there, Verticle Escape, we climb at everyother Christmas.

Take care,
Chuck
