AZhitman Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 These two bars are rear sway bars, correct? Here's why I ask: My S30 has the rear bar that mounts to the subframe (not the body) and the LCA's. My buddy's 73 has a rear bar that faces the other way and mounts to the body and the LCA's. I ordered the Motorsports kit (F & R bars). Installed the front one with no problems, but the rear one (I assume) as shown above (dark grey) doesn't fit my car. I suppose I could drill the holes in the body and install mine like my buddy's 73, but I have a functional bar now and would prefer not to drill if I don't have to. Thanks in advance - Hope all that makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Why doesn't the aftermarket bar fit? It looks like the same shape as the original bar, just thicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermanpete Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The early 240Zs do not have mounting pounts for the rear anti-sway bar. Starting in '73 they have mounts for the rear anti-sway bar which mounts forward of the rear axle. The anti-sway bar that fits behind the rear axle is aftermarket.

AZhitman Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Why doesn't the aftermarket bar fit? It looks like the same shape as the original bar, just thicker. The thinner one was taken off the front of my Z, and replaced with the Motorsport bar. The fatter one is the other one from Motorsport. I'm wondering now if I have my F & R bars mixed up or something? Or perhaps, as Pete says, those are rear bars for a later Z with the body mounting points?

johnc Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Both of the bars pictured above are rear anti-roll bars for 1973 and later S30s. They mount in the stock location (ahead of the diff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaNoZeta Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I always thought the ones mounted behind the diff used the same bar just with the brackets in a different spot. I guess I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZhitman Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 No, you're correct, Grim. Which is why I';m kinda surprised these haven't sold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
