Hi all,
I actually drove the 914 a couple of times this weekend! It seems to be running pretty good, although it needs an alignment pretty bad. One problem, when I would hit bumps, there seems to be a rattle coming from behind me. It's pretty hard to tell where it's coming from exactlybut, I'm wondering if it could be engine or transmission mounts. How do I check to see if the mounts are worn? And what are the best mounts to use if they need replacing? Anything else that could rattle pretty loudly? The back window seems to be pretty secure, so I don't think thats it. Thanks, |

I would say the front engine mounts. It happened to me when mine was a street car.
A quick test it to put a jack under the front corner of the engine and SLOWLY jack it up. If it comes off the mounting bar, your rubber mounts are bad. I have some if you need them. Paul |
