My first 914, so I don’t know what is ‘normal’.
I’ve replaced shocks on my 39k mile car. One was a bit leaky. When I go over rough surface, like a pot hole, I get quite a bit of scuttle shake. Just a lack of front end rigidity in the structure - is my guess. Sound familiar? Normal? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) How about when the car is on perfectly smooth asphalt ? Handles like a dream right ? 914s dont really soak up potholes As a rule the smoothest cars will be verrry heavy 914 is way too light for any sort of ride compliance. I sure a lotus " beats your ass " over rough pavement to" And i think you may be refering to bump steer. Not schuttle shake I kinda disagreee with the bump steer kits and huge tierods personally The schuttle shake is kinda a part of the car s characters .why would you wanna fix that And its free not to fix it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Shout out to the cheap sob |

That all makes sense. On a smooth surface, it’s razor sharp and super handling.
I wouldn’t describe as bump steer. More like an MGB, body flex. Good to know. Thanks. |
