I haven't been unable to fully use the brakes on my 914 because the car would pitch violently to the left if I exceeded ~.6gs under braking. After chasing many other problems on my car, this one remained. I thought I had cured it more than once.

Turns out the right rear outer suspension mount to the body was slowly, but surely seperating inself from my car. A previous owner had done a poor repair for a leaky battery or some accident damage and I didn't address enough of it when I did some repairs.

Some pics... this is the before picture, after I cut out some of the forward sheet metal, but the console remains. Notice the crack at the upper left of the console. There was almost nothing holding the front side of this console, which would explain why the right rear wheel would toe out under hard braking.
