Zfan1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement u-joints for the steering shaft in my 71 model 240Z, mine are shot as they have way too much slop in them. Thanks Mike Edited March 8, 2013 by Zfan1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've seen an old thread on this, so keep looking. Seems the properly splined joints are NLA. Somebody was doing a group buy for some custom steeing shafts, so try to find that old post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) I have one of the Woodward to Datsun joints that I'm not going to use because I ended up going with a whole custom Woodward rack. You would need to convert the center shaft to Woodward joints on the other end too. I also have another regular Woodward joint. In addition you'd need three of their male ends. 2 to make the intermediate shaft that plugs onto the U joints, and one to weld to your steering column. The joints are about $60 each. I'd sell these for $80, and I'll cover shipping. You can get a decent idea of what has to happen by looking at my shaft that I made for the Woodward rack. EDIT- Just remembered I have more than enough 3/4" steer tube too. You can have that as well, bump the price to $100 and then you just need three of the male ends and weld it together. Looks like they are $5.30 each from Woodward direct: http://woodwardsteering.com/images/steering%20universal%20joints.pdf (ST201) Edited March 9, 2013 by JMortensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
