qwik240z Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 280Z and 280ZX Stub Axles - Are they the Same? I saw a set of 280ZX stub axles on eBay and the guy said they were an upgrade for the 240Z stub axles. Will they bolt in to a 240Z. If so, what parts will I need from the 280ZX?

JMortensen Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Count the splines. I thought all the ZX's had 25 spline axles. The 280Z has 27.

Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 They won't bolt in and if they did it would not be an upgrade. We've done billet 280Z stub axles as customers have snapped them and we know they're notably stronger than 240Z stub axles.....and 280ZX stub axles have same spline count and diameter as 240Z's, and given that's related to their typical breaking point they remain in the 'non-upgrade' bin. We are doing some billet 280ZXT stub axle and companion flanges as superior OEM replacement pieces for a few committed 280ZX customers seeking a direct bolt in OEM upgrade. For a stub axle upgrade for yourself you'd want to find a set of good shape 280Z used stub axles or step to our own billet replacement 280Z stub axles.
