Enginerd81 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Need one that will fit 76 280z 2+2 Preferably near western Michigan but will entertain shipped ones. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I have a 76 280z 2+2 parts car. Do you know the length d/s you need? I have several and not sure which is from the 76 2+2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Are you missing one entirely? It's not a reach with yokes to go to any 4X4 driveshaft shop and have them put new joints and tube in for around $150 with a decent balance. Better than any second hand unit with high miles on it. IEDLS (Inland Empire Driveline Service) made one handily on order and shipped it for $350 back in the day (Aluminum)---that was for a 1976 2+2 and was balanced for 10,000 rpms. To this date we have not had any issues with balance to over 11,000+ rpms driveshaft speed. May be more than you want to spend, but I'm really happy with it, and the price for steel is likely cheaper than my aluminum one---and that was for all new parts, nothing re-used (and with rebuildable U-Joint Trunnions!!!)

theczechone Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hi, I have a 2+2 driveshaft, and I'm fairly close to you too, Plymouth,MI. I'll take $80 for it picked up. Let me know. - Michal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enginerd81 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Tony, I took the driveshaft to a local place and they wanted $325 to rebuild it with replaceable joints. I ended up getting some rockford 430-10 joints and those worked well.... for 20 miles/ my first hard launch. which sheared the 2 pins off the cross on the diff end. I was planning on taking my 2 pieces to the same shop to see if they could still work with it. Either that or seeing what was available in the used arena. Michal, Is there any slop or binding in either of the joints? Do you know how many miles were on it? RB26, center to center distance of Ujoints is 34-1/8" Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
