Front bearing / spacer help - so close to on the road
914 six almost ready to go after getting it tuned on a dyno today. More about that later. - trying to chase down the source of the shaking front end. - Vetted out wheels, tires, tie rods, shocks, bushings, rotor warpage, etc…. All good -Please see pics. It seems as if there’s a mismatch between the inner bearing and the spacer. Somethings not right but I don’t know what it is. The last true leftover problem from the previous owner. 24 mm carrera rotors, Porsche Brenbo brakes, 911 hubs, new bearings and seals. Any clue at to what’s wrong? |

With the car up in the air, grab a wheel at top and bottom and try to rock it up and down.
Anything wrong with the wheel bearing fitment will show up right away. The wheel should move only a small amount when the bearing preload is correct. |
