Is it possible to swap longer 280ZX tie rod ends on 240Z steering rack?


Recommended Posts

For those of use with stock struts and insulators on a lowered 240Z, the only practical way to correct and gain more negative camber seems to be lengthening the LCAs.  A small gain can be made at the top of the strut, but this is limited to about ¼†or about ½ degree.  More gain can be obtained with adjustable LCAs, but the limitation here is the amount of adjustment on the tie rod ends of the steering rack.

 

Now to the point, I have read that 280ZX tie rod ends, which are ¾†longer, can be used on the 240Z steering rack.  The 280ZX rod ends are both right hand thread.  The 240Z uses right hand and left hand threads.  So to use the 280ZX rod ends, the left hand threaded rod on the rack could be replaced with a right hand threaded rod so that both sides have right hand threads and can now fit the 280ZX rod ends.

 

Has anyone done this swap?  Is it possible?
