CruxGNZ Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Some of you may remember me having some troubles getting a stuck strut cart. out of my front strut (I had a lot of fun trying to get it out ). Well, I was informed that a 240Z was at a junkyard and I could go and pull another strut off that one, because my original one was FUBAR from trying to get the cart out, plus the cart never came out . I went to the junkyard and it was sold, the junkyard was SOLD! The 240Z was crushed along with many, many other vehicles. Now, in Wisconsin, not a lot of these Z's are around anymore, junkyards or otherwise. So, I most likely will not find another 240Z just laying around for me to get a strut off of. I tried doing a search and really didn't come up with anything, but what years of Z's can I get another front strut from for my '73 240Z? I know that there are different sizes and different I.D. or was it O.D.? Anyways, I have coilovers bought for my 240Z already, waiting to get installed, but I need another strut to be able to finish the suspension. Can you guys help me out? !M!

MikeS Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 HEY MATT TRY ZBARN.COM THEY SHOW FRONTS OR REARS IN STOCK FOR $75.00 Did you get around to installing the coilovers on the other three struts? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I am probably going to a junkyard soon (california, land of relatively rust free datsuns) and if there's one in good shape available, i can snag it for you. Just cover me for cost of strut housing and shipping. What's your limit on $$$ to get this, i don't know prices for the junkyard off top of my head. also, which one do you need? (front left, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I have a 1973 260 and for 29.95 or so I got them at Auto Zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted July 26, 2002 Author Share Posted July 26, 2002 MikeS - I haven't had time to install anything yet. I've just been to busy with work lately (I build houses for a living). I was hoping to get around to it this weekend, but I need another strut. I like to get things all done at one time rather than little by little, so I'm going to wait untill I get another strut, that's just the way I am. When I finish, you are still more than welcome to check them out. auxilary - I wasn't planning on spending any more than $50 on a new used one. I think I'll hold out for a little longer to see if I can find one around here first rather than paying for the strut AND shipping. I really appreciate the offer though, thanks man. Also, this is funny, I can't remember which side needs to be replaced DUH... crap, I'll have to go look . zank - Auto zone has them for $30???? Are you talking about the strut cartridge or the strut itself? Thanks guys, the search continues, for a few more days... !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
