Hi, my new 914 has a loud noise from the right side when going over about 30. Seems to quiet on a right hand turn. Any ideas on what the problem might be? The PO said it might be an exhaust leak, but that's not it.

Thanks,
Rick

Fronts and rears + seals?

Pelican has them get the rears that are the FAG bearings made in Slovakia which are half the price of the German made bearings. Fronts are easy. Rears take the right tools to remove the hubs and bearings.

If the fronts are not making noise I would leave them alone.
Rears are at least a half day job to pull the axles, hubs and bearings. I have the tools to do it without damaging the hubs.
