Can't keep an alignment...

[Mike_944]

I'm thinking control arm bushings? Mine look pretty bad.

Last year, my factory original caster blocks and front control arm bushings were ugly.
Even after alignment, the 944's legendary steering accuracy was non-existent.

So, I lucked out and found sealed, factory 951 rubber caster blocks and the Weltmeister bushings all around up front.
Also have changed:
- all 4 wheel bearings,
- all 4 shocks/struts
- and ensured a solid ball joint pivot.
Sears completed a full re-alignment and WOW.

Still need to re-rubber the rear end.. ( Doh!)

Put it up on jack stands and start wiggling stuff and you oughta be able to figure out what needs to be replaced.

Did you get poly or rubber bushings?
How many bushings are needed for each control arm?

I called 888-280-7799 and the splendid folks at Pelican parts hooked me up.
Urethane front bushings, rubber caster blocks and rubber sway bar bushings.
