Few Tech Questions
 

Hello everybody! My names is Logan and just a few weeks ago I bought a 84' Porshce 944. Its a beautiful car and I love it. There are just a few questions I had that I was hoping anybody on here could help me with.

First off, sometimes when i turn left, and ONLY when i turn left the car will make a sound as if there is something in the front part of the car that rubbing against something else. I checked to make sure my tires werent rubbing against the inner part of the car when the wheel is turned and it wasnt anywhere close so i have no idea what this could even be. It doesn't happen all the time, ususally if i am turning really slow it will make the noise but other than that I never hear it.

Secondly, I read somewhere that this was an issue with these models up until late 85 or 87 but sometimes the car will vibrate really bad (even with the A/C off) for a few seconds when i stop and then will suddenly stop. Is there anything i can do that will dampen the vibrations?

Then lastly, i see that there is not very much room in the hood and i was looking to put a turbo into the car so that it was a little bit faster than the later models. Is this at all possible or is it going to cost me more than an arm and a leg?

Thanks for anyhelp you guys can give and I attached a photo of the car to the post. Isn't she just beautiful?

So i guess that attachment didn't work? I am such a noob =/

1. Right front wheel bearing
2. mmm shouldn't be any vibrations
3. You will dump far more money trying to turbo your car than to just go by a 944 turbo.

Well I forgot to add that it only vibrates when I am idling and is the right front wheel bearing costly to repair or is it something I can do myself?

Bearing is probably 30 bucks in parts, but you need to be able to press the race into the hub, which usually requires a press. You can do it by heating the hub in the oven and using a bearing race driver to put in the races, though if you are married/engaged/living with a significant other, you may find yourself in a bit of trouble for cooking car parts in the oven, lol.

Haha yeah I'm not sure that will go over well, I'll just call a shop and see how cheap I can get it done. Thank you for all the help!
