I returned to a 914 after 32 yrs. I don't remember my last one, a 74, riding so rough.
This new 74 rattles my teeth. I did the old school bounce test on the fenders to check the shocks and it only bounced once. Is this a valid test on these cars? The PO did lower the front and that may account for some of the rough ride. Not sure how old the shocks are...could be original...yet they did pass the bounce test... Should I replace them for a better ride? Thanks, Jack |

Tell us every detail on your current setup. Engine wheels/tires What suspension you think you have seats. My car is a 74 2.0. 185x65x15 Kuhmo tires on Fuchs wheels. Suspension components are stock with new 100# springs (rear was sagging). Front end has been lowered by the PO who thought she wanted to AX the car but lost interest. The car is bone stock and unmolested. Seats are original. Hope this helps. |
