I still need a set of 140's ,the frontend problems have come down to tierods and the shocks in the front are wore out . if you push in on the top of the tire the play can be felt in the shock,. what type do you recommend for heavy spirited driveing.......oh and were can a person find a dust cap for my 72 4 lug...ive looked everywere

dust cap? try your local junkyard. i think they are the same as a vw 411/412. and for a wag...go to your FLAPS

didnt try 411\412 put normal vws are to small

I recommend Bilsteins all around. They feel great under all conditions of street driving.

You may find that the shock is just loose in the strut. The collars come loose from time to time if you dont tighten them correctly (last install)

I do agree the Bilstein is very good aggressive street shock.

Okay.. stupid question.

Are stock /6 shocks the same as the 911 versions, front and rear?

in the market,
Rusty

Stock 6 shocks are the same as the 4cyl shock and the early 911 shocks.

B

Fronts are 911 early, I figured.

Rears are 914/4s?

-Rusty

What kind of costs would I be looking at for new Biltsteins all around? And, should I be replacing the tie rod ends at the same time? I've never had to mess w/the suspension til now - its shot. I too am a street driver - potholes abound in my area... -Pete
