Omg! Oju has elephant balls!
yepper a milestone to say the least. with the addition of elephant racings weatherproof damn fine monoballs we have finally replaced every lil stinking SOB bastid wasted sunrotted junk POS bushing on my suspension on my 87.
WHAT A PITA! 25years of use and man....................."while yer in der" replace those sealed FAG OEM BEARINGS cuz theyz gonna be junk or living on borrowed time. this with ONLY 125K on them. aligned dead nutz here locally by someone who DOESNT, use caveman strings and bubbles. note porsche 911 TYPE 1 MK 7 variant 3 tool we made for 22mm trailing arm bolts. huge difference to say the least and worth the bucks. and best of all................we WON THE FIGHT of US vs. 911 TRAILING ARM BOLTS! nanny nanny boo boo eat sheeeet!

By the time you get done with that you'll have to start all over again with chuck's new stuff.
So, what do you do with this car? Is it a track car? |

after what we found after 121k miles, i bought it with 110k(1-owner) on it, there is no doubt in my mind, that anyone with an older 911/914, HAS TO REPLACE bearings and bushings especially the trailing arm bushings.
i have mine out in the garage and will take some pics of what 25 years does here in az. with no road salts to trailing arm bushings. it aint pretty and they are pretty well deformed. on the ride home from the alignment shop, there was a definite notice in the seat of my pants improvement in ride quality. i can only imagine for now what it will feel like when we take it back onto the track. if ya want yer suspension/alignment to be dead nutz, ya gots to put it on an alignment machine. "bubbles and string" aint gonna get it except at trackside and even then, i would be kind of wondering. and thats starting with all new components. there IS alot involved to properly aligning a car front and rear for a "spirited alignment" worthy of highway and track to eek some mileage out of spendy street tires and spendier track tires.

My car is a Oklahoma car. The wheel wells are dirty becaue it does get driven in the rain. The car came with windshield wipers so I figure it was designed to be driven in the rain.
On my car the a-arm bushings were so worn the t-bars were rubbing. The rear trailing arm bushings had a large notch on them. Big improvenment after the change.

one of our future moves re: wheel wells is to buy a 4x8 sheet of plastic(delrin?) and start fabbing wheel well covers so as not to allow road crap to find its way in.
being an az. car and the previous owner being a jewish real estate attorney, it never saw any real bad weather driving here. but over the ions of its existence my rear wheel wells were filled with dirt/dust and that was fun scrapping all that crap out compounded by our lil runs at the track and all the "rubber boogers" from our race tires and others race tires left on track. the best tool we came up with aside from a screwdriver was some welding rod bent over at a right angle maybe 4" and using that to scrape all the crap out and a follow up with a shop vac we fabbed a small hose to to fit in the crevices. it worked great just a PITA to do it right. yeah if i had to do it all over again from day 1 of ownership, i would have focused on all the bushings and bearings no doubt in my mind. really glad that crap is OVER!
