My 914 is leaning after a wreck....even the back which was not hit. I looked for damage and found none. Is it possible a bad strut would make it lean over? I thought the spring would hold it up but maybe not? Anybody

QUOTE(bondo @ Jul 9 2004, 09:26 AM) Ouch. It could just be from the front suspension damage. I have tried to jack up just the front of my 914 to work on the brakes. I put the jack right behind the left front tire hoping I could lift both front wheels.. I ended up lifting both left wheels. It seems these cars like to lean more side to side than front to back. Try jacking up the front until it's level and see what the back looks like. Are you really going to try and fix that? it doesn't look easy! I believe you called it my man! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I put the jack on the right front and it leveled out the rear. Unfortunately the front had to be jacked way up there...But the issue is in the front suspension! Next step will be to cut off the crap and see what I can do up there to get it back close to where it was. Anybody have any suggestions on how to approach this? |
