Hey guys..now that my teener is running well enough to drive I need a front end alignment. I bought some simple tools to do a home alignment but don't think I can get the camber right...so I have a toe-in/tow-out tool and a camber measurement tool (just a level like device). My thought was to use this tool to measure the camber off another 914 and transfer this measurment to my car. Does that sound like it would have work?
I need to set the ride height before I go the shop. The odds are the shop will not be a 914 savy one so I will bring the specs with me and have the height set before hand. I have spacers on my steering rack if that helps with the height measurements. I heard/read somewhere the "A-arm" should be at least parallel to the ground, is this right? Since I have flares measurments to the fender lip will not work here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The rear will stay the way it is now. I don't have the shims and I would like to find a 914 savy shop before I have some one mess with the rear. Cheers Kerry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Tight, available... power induced oversteer.
I don't think I know enough about the physics involved to explain the difference, but if you raise the nose above the rear, and go for a quick ride, you'll know what you are doing by lowering it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I load up the front a # or two also, although I have been warned against it 1000 times. (adjusty drop links are nice) My 1.7 is a mean bastard, my 2.0 is a wandering fool, last night I was running with some semi rigs over 90, the wake was like 6ft seas. -rocking boat smiley- I found my current favorite setup messing with a 5 hour pro alignment I didn't like. I need suspension stuff for blackie! M |
