NEW CORNERS

The car is back on the ground. New springs, new struts, fresh bushings everywhere, new rotors, new wheels. Two weeks of garage time. One weird sensor issue…finally resolved. o o o TO DRIFT OR NOT TO… When the car starts up, the wheel speed sensors are checked. These sensors are critical to all of the vehicle dynamics from clever traction controls to basic stuff like Anti-lock brakes! Our 1987 924s has none of these things. But it is close to half the power the weight and it’s still pretty easy to lock up the front wheels. So driving the model 3 without ABS isn’t a very exciting prospect. We made our way through a few inspections and changes – easy to just swap a good wheel speed sensor. No dice. Then we inspected the harness, thinking there might be an issue, but the error was about air gap vs no signal. So we rechecked install – there just aren’t any easy ways to misalign the sensor. That’s when Claude suggested that statistically some of the after market bearing hubs have a high…
