sooo, i'm getting ready for a alignment of the car and i'm having a problem with my front suspension.
i knew the car was hit in the front. i knew the 911 front suspension came out of a car that was hit in the front. now, the front suspension mount on the pass. side (A-Arm) does not line up correctly. the mount is supposed to be a tight fit with the bushing and the a-arm "stop". but it's about 1/4 to 1/2 inch off. altough it is tight, no play. something is obviously bent. how can i find out if either my tub is bend or if the pass a-arm (or worse, the cross member) is bend? anyone has some measurements? i do have a stress-crack in the chassis right next to that mount. but i'm not sure if that was from the crash or additional stress of a bend suspension or what. help!

There are measurements in a few places I think. I just saw some on the mittlemotor.de website. I think Pelican Parts also has it on line. Failing them, I have the workshop manuals with all the data at home. You should start looking for a spare set of A-arms. I've seen several rot out over the past several years.

The measurements are in the shop manuals. You can also find them at:
