Miles Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 We have two 72 240Zs. One is stock and the other has a 350 sbc. Both cars have stiff steering. Is stiff steering typical for the 240Z? Thanks Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop N Wood Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 My 70 240 was originally very stiff to turn, even with 185 tires. I then replaced all of the front rubber pieces with urethane and the steering became very light, especially when parked! I think the biggest difference is to replace the rubber steering coupler with a solid one (Motor Sport Auto part # 23-4160 or 4161). This gets rid of all the slop in the front end and makes steering much more positive (and light). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
