Porsche 914 was a collaboration between Porsche and Volkswagen from 1969 to 1976. With its mid-engine four-cylinder boxer engine and rear wheel drive Porsche 914 became the top-selling sports car of its time.

Porsche 914 trailing arms ensure a stable and smooth ride

Porsche 914 utilizes trailing arms in its suspension system. These arms are suspension components that connect the wheels to the chassis. They play a crucial role in controlling the movement and alignment of the wheels ensuring a stable and smooth ride.

914 was renowned for its agile and well balanced maneuverability, partly thanks to its rear suspension setup. The design of rear trailing arms and front torsion bar suspension system became a winning combination for its great handling and stability.

914 trailing arms for independant movement of each rear wheel

One of the notable features of the Porsche 914’s rear suspension was the use of trailing arms, allowing each rear wheel to move independently. This independence greatly improved traction, especially when taking corners or driving on uneven roads.

As with any suspension components, it is also important to keep an eye on the condition of the trailing arms. Over time trailing arms and bushings may require maintenance or replacement due to regular wear and tear.
