My 914/6 was level before I replaced the rear KYBs with Koni Yellow Adjustables.
Now it's not level. In the back, the right side is about 1.5" higher than the left. I've inspected, and don't see that the springs are messed up - maybe I don't know what to look for. Springs went back into the side that they came out of. Both spring perches are set at the same "notch" on the shock (the middle one). The wheels aren't tilting out like the console is about to collapse. It doesn't appear to affect ride quality - but I sure look like a dork. What might the problem be? Never had this problem with shocks before. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
