912 Front Suspension

[dpliego]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. I`m currently restoring a 67 912, so far engine, clutch, transmision and electric system are all rebuild and working fine, I also changed all four shocks and all suspension bushings and here is where the problem lies. When we first finish the suspension, there were some noises and rattles so everything was retighten and the car was taken to a four wheel laser allignment shop. How ever the front of the car feels somehow loose in the front when dirving straight at 70 mph and when taking curves at arround 60 mph, there is like a lack of weight in the front. Could this be the torsion bars that I didnt change?.

Thanks in advance for your help.

how is the front ride height? air under car = loose

also there isn't a whole lot of weight in the front, does it change with fuel load?

did you check the inner tie rod joints?

Check the three A Arm mounting bolts in front of the A Arms. They may have come loose.
