1972 Porsche 914Disassembly - Part 4 - Rear Suspension9/4/2006As part of removing the engine and transmission, I went ahead and removed the rear suspension so that it would make it easier to pull the engine out from under the car. It all came out really well. I had three shim plates on each side. I think there was two thin ones and a thicker one. Thicker one in the middle. I need to measure those before I bag them up. No photos yet, but I will do that as I disassemble the suspension. At the moment it is apart enough just to pull off the car. Issues I noticed was that at least one bearing seems to be worn as I can move the stub axel around. Each side seems to have a different shock. :) The suspension ear on the right side is rusted and cracked. It will need to be replaced. The left side looks OK at this point. After I "dip" the car, I will look to see if there are any hidden cracks. Photos... 9/8/2006Documenting items pulled off on 9/4/2006. Photos... |
