So I'm all done with the teardown of the front end and the resulting fixes (fuel lines and clutch tube). SO now that all the parts are on there way I need to clean up the hard parts.
All the rest of the pieces are ok and just need a clean up but what about this arm. What are my options? Attached thumbnail(s)

I'd say NO. Why bother they are one of the parts that never go bad...or rarely. In theory there should be a plethera avail.
NOT that I have 1....go figure.... Josh |

It's your car, and you may be able to straighten it, but I would replace it/them with newer units.
You should be able to use any 911 a-arms up through 1989 (just remember to get the adjusters with them). The only differences with them is the number of splines on the torsion bars and that they are newer than yours. Just my $0.02 |

If you go to the 911 arms you wind up with lots of parts to change. (OK not lots but some) I just went through all that so ask me how? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
But I have a front if you need parts. |

Robby!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) Don't worry I know it will be OK!!!
I posted an ad in the classifieds. I considered the 911 front end but my budget was blown with clutch tube/ fuel line/ welding repairs. Chris, Do you have a passenger A-arm you could spare??? |

I've got 3 complete pairs of /4 a-arms with the u-tabs already on them....gotta start cleaning up my "spare" parts (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
easier to give them away when someone needs them....this way I don't feel guilty throwing them in the trash when no one wants them otherwise (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) if Jaiden asks nicely I'll even remove the old rubber bushings and ball joint if need be (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |

Even though Mueller offered the part for free a local club member also offered the part very cheap AND I get to hang out with a club member for a little while.
Thanks again! |
