Hi all,

My 914-8 is at Custom Alignment in Mt View, CA for a final alignment prior to this weekends autocross @ Marina. I’m having Custom Alignment perform a four-corner alignment and four-corner balance. They just called with an issue—the front RS coil-over struts are not properly rotating on the monoball mounts. Seems the monoball is too sticky and is not allowing the front wheels to track properly. They suggested using a needle thrust bearing between the coil spring hat and the monoball. Is this a common component that I just left out?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
