Porsche 914 Control Pedal Bushings

Porsche 914 Control pedal bushings

Control pedal bushings for your Porsche 914 start at $5.95. We stock 2 options from URO. These small rubber or polyurethane sleeves sit at the pivot points of your brake, clutch, and accelerator pedal assemblies, absorbing vibration and reducing metal-on-metal contact. When they wear out, pedals feel sloppy, sticky, or unresponsive — a direct safety concern.

Signs your Porsche 914 needs new control pedal bushings

  • Brake or clutch pedal feels loose or has excessive side-to-side wobble when pressed
  • A clicking, squeaking, or clunking noise each time you depress or release a pedal
  • Pedal travel feels inconsistent — spongy at first then suddenly firm, or vice versa
  • Visible rubber cracking, splitting, or missing material around the pedal pivot pin
  • Clutch engagement point shifts noticeably or feels vague compared to normal
  • Accelerator pedal sticks slightly or returns to rest position more slowly than usual

Which control pedal bushings should you buy for your Porsche 914?

The main decision is material: OEM-spec rubber bushings restore factory feel and are often the lowest-cost option, while polyurethane bushings last longer but can transmit more vibration to the pedal. You also need to confirm which pedal — brake, clutch, or throttle — and whether you need the pivot bushing, the clevis pin bushing, or a full kit covering all positions.

OEM-Spec Rubber Bushing
Best for
Daily drivers wanting a factory-feel restoration
What you get
Soft durometer rubber matched to original specs; absorbs vibration well; typically lowest price
Polyurethane Bushing
Best for
Higher-mileage vehicles or drivers wanting extended service life
What you get
Harder compound resists compression set and oil contamination; firmer pedal feel; longer lifespan than rubber
Clevis Pin & Bushing Kit
Best for
Vehicles with worn brake booster or master cylinder clevis linkage
What you get
Includes both the clevis pin and surrounding bushings so slop in the entire linkage is eliminated at once
Full Pedal Bushing Kit
Best for
High-mileage Porsche 914s where multiple bushings are worn simultaneously
What you get
Complete set covering brake, clutch, and/or throttle pivot points; most cost-effective if more than one bushing is suspect

Replacing control pedal bushings on a Porsche 914

Easy⏱ 30 minutes – 1.5 hoursNeedle-nose pliers or snap-ring pliersFlathead screwdriver or trim removal toolSocket set and ratchetFlashlight or work lightWhite lithium grease or bushing lubricant

On most Porsche 914 applications, the pedal pivot pin is retained by a clip or a small bolt accessible from under the dash; removing it lets you slide out the old bushing without disconnecting any brake or clutch hydraulics. Clean the pin and bore before pressing or sliding the new bushing into place, then apply a light coat of lithium grease to reduce future wear. Reinstall the retaining clip or bolt, verify smooth pedal travel with no side-play, and test the pedal feel before driving.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace control pedal bushings on a Porsche 914?
Parts start at $5.95 for a single bushing on a Porsche 914. A full pedal bushing kit costs more but covers all pivot points at once. DIY labor is minimal — typically under two hours. Shop labor adds $50–$150 depending on access, though most technicians consider this a straightforward job.
Are control pedal bushings a safety item on a Porsche 914?
Yes. Worn brake pedal bushings introduce slop into the pedal-to-master-cylinder linkage, which can cause inconsistent braking response or delayed pedal feel. Clutch pedal bushings affect engagement precision. Either condition compromises vehicle control, so a worn bushing at any pedal pivot should be treated as a priority repair, not a deferred maintenance item.
How long do control pedal bushings last on a Porsche 914?
Lifespan varies widely based on material, climate, and use. Rubber bushings on a Porsche 914 typically last many years under normal conditions but degrade faster when exposed to oil, brake fluid drips, or extreme heat near the firewall. Polyurethane versions generally outlast rubber by a significant margin before showing the same compression-set wear.
Can I replace just one control pedal bushing, or should I do all of them?
You can replace a single bushing if only one pivot is worn, but if your Porsche 914 has high mileage, replacing all pedal bushings at the same time is more practical. All bushings age at similar rates under similar conditions, and labor to access the pedal assembly is largely the same whether you replace one or the full set.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after replacing a brake pedal bushing on a Porsche 914?
Not necessarily. Replacing a brake pedal bushing on a Porsche 914 is a mechanical linkage repair and does not open the hydraulic system, so bleeding is not required. However, if the old bushing failure caused the clevis pin to wear irregularly or the pushrod to shift angle, inspect the master cylinder boot and pushrod alignment before driving.
What causes control pedal bushings to wear out on a Porsche 914?
Repeated pedal cycling slowly compresses and degrades the bushing material over time. Heat from the firewall or engine bay accelerates rubber hardening and cracking. Oil or brake fluid contamination from nearby leaks attacks rubber compounds specifically. Vehicles driven in stop-and-go traffic wear brake pedal bushings faster due to the sheer number of pedal actuations.
