Steering Questions
Hey I'm a newbie to the 914 scene. I was given one by someone who came up short on a debt. It's probably a parts car and shouldbe trashed but I like working on it.
Anyways my first question of many for you guys is about my steering. Sometimes not always my front end shakes violently while driving. What Parts do I need to replace or tighten to stop this. |

A good start would be checking the wheel balance and alignment. Also check all the front end bushings.

Also check wheel bearings and inner tie rod bushings.
