munkey_mike Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 So I decided to completely tear down my 1978 280z turn signal switch. I cleaned and lubed every moving part and it is 1000x times better now. However I am left with one extra ball bearing. There are a total of 3 bearings. The two larger ones go on each end of the rocker part. The last one is significantly smaller and I have no idea where it is supposed to sit. I honestly don't even remember taking that bearing out. Does anyone know where it belongs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Look at the rocker inside the TS switch in the video. See the center stalk that pushes the rockers? There should be a small ball bearing with a spring in the center stalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've included a photo. I'm pretty confident the ball bearing does not go there. Has anyone seen a guide for the 280z switch?

munkey_mike Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Anybody willing to tear their 280z switch apart? I get the feeling this tiny bearing will be misplaced if I don't take care of it soon lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grannyknot Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Tear it down again, the ball bearing can only go in one place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
