I had a guy install a bump steer kit in my 1974 914 and it started clicking REAL bad when i turned the wheel so i removed it. I am still getting this clicking when i turn the wheel and when it turns back. I am dreading that the bump steer kit damaged the steering rack or something. Any ideas?

i had the same problem. with the spacers still installed, i loosened the "u joints" under the dash and tapped on them a bit to releive the added pressure. now the wheel turns freely, just like it did stock. on a side note, you should check your steering coupler. mine was trashed, and didnt even know it because of that rediculous plastic cover. i cut that plastic cover off and didnt replace it. now i can do a visual check on it without disassembling the steering shaft.

For me, clicking was a trashed out bearing behind the steering wheel. Also, I cleaned the steering column and shaft, lubed the splines and put it back together. The clicking went away.
Make sure your circlips are actually there.
