1 tuff z Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 hey, for all you z guru's! i'm ready to assemble my rear struts with the 280z stub axles-new bearings, seals, etc. but i don't have the copper [like] washers that go on either side of the steel spacer and between the bearings. i called the dealer, they can't get them either. anyone put them back together without the washers? any problems? any ideas? help?!?!

blueovalz Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Can't answer your question, but if you have to have something like this, I wonder it a valve spring shim (I've seen copper ones) would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j260z Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 i just went through my parts for both stub axles and only found 2 washers. i'm assuming i only had one in each as they are different from each other and i had one 240 stub and one 280 stub. they are both 1 19/32 " in diameter and 1/32 " thick but the inside hole diameters are roughly 1 1/8 " and 1 1/4 ". i'm thinking the 1 1/4" one is from the 280 stub axle because that is the beafier of the two. maybe you could find something at an autoparts store or get some made up out of copper from a laser cutter. i can't see it costing too much. hope this helps.
